They still do, because extensions have to declare support for each versions (I wish there was a better way) and some maintainers don't test ahead of time. But most of the time you can make them work by adding the latest GNOME version into the extension's metadata.json (I personally open pull requests when that happens)

You can just disable the version check for all extensions.

No way, how?

gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation "true"

False to reenable it. You might have to install gsettings first.
