Ya, SHA384 is the way to go. By discarding some bits, the internal state isn’t public and length extension becomes impossible.
This is my understanding as well but I have seen claims that it is still very possible to do length attacks on SHA384.
Any reference for that? Based on the wiki it has 128 bits of security against length extension. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2
