With version 45, Gnome switches to ECMAScript modules (ESM). This standardizes javascript exports/imports, but it also means that every single extension will have to be adjusted to work with Gnome 45. I would not mind if Gnome 45 stayed in testing for a bit longer, so developers have time to adjust.
Usually that is the case. normally gnome stays in the testing repo for a few months. Gives enough time for extension managers to update extensions, and thus, us not having heavily broken workflows. It mostly will only be out as stable only after the gnome 45.1 release.
how is the extensions situation?

Well, Gnome 45 is in extra now. That was unusually fast!
