There is this resource: https://support.ublock.org/hc/en-us/articles/11749958544275-Google-s-Manifest-V3-What-it-is-and-what-it-means-for-uBlock-Users-

Here is a summary of a contributor in a Github issue about Manifest v3: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/338#issuecomment-1507539114

uBO Lite:

  • Filter lists update only when the extension updates (no fetching up to date lists from servers)
  • Many filters are dropped at conversion time due to MV3's limited filter syntax
  • No crafting your own filters (thus no element picker)
  • No strict-blocked pages
  • No per-site switches
  • No dynamic filtering -No importing external lists

So it really is a shadow of its former self.
