In my past experience, too many extensions tend to break every time GNOME Shell is upgraded and it can take a long time to get them fixed.

The GNOME developers have signaled over and over again that they're unwilling to provide stable APIs for UI customization. Being a developer myself, I can see why it's a burden, but the current situation is that it's being done anyway through unofficial extensions and users are left to deal with the random breakage.
