Any reason to use that one that only seems to list "Medium" as supported vs the often linked https://12ft.io (Unsure if official or inofficial extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/12ft/nmccamaemgaap...)?

Edit: Unfortunately https://12ft.io seems to be down right now, I hope it's temporary.

If you the previous extension that was blocked https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/beat-that-wall/fhp... you can see that it has way more downloads than https://12ft.io
I don't think it's temporary, if what the reviews say is to believe it has been dead for a while and has questionable practice to begin with.
I don't think that extension was an official one, it was not linked from the website so the reviews / download count don't really say much.

They suffer from the same problem. They can't update the extension because google changed the policies. Now any attempt to remove paywalls is not allowed
The fact that only list medium does not mean that do not work on another sites. It should work on most sites but was mainly tested on medium.
