I dont necessarily agree.
- a different clipboard manager (whatever is equal to KDEs)
- blur my shell
- quick settings tweaker probably
- privacy settings (which is only for pipewire apps I guess, so nearly none)
- wiggle
- probably some maximize to workspace
If a DE has a list of “must install” extensions/plugins for it to be usable, then that DE is not for me.
I don’t know most of these extensions, but from the names it very opinionated and depends on who you are if those extensions are a must have for you. I mean, Burn My Windows does not sound like a must have, while Caffeine does.
Title should have been: “15 Extensions I Have To Install On GNOME”.
You can disable the screensaver and auto-suspend just fine in the settings, caffeine lets you toggle it from the panel, I’d hardly call that a must have, if anything it’d annoy most users who prefer a clean panel.
I prefer the gnome approach of having a functioning basic DE where you can optionally install extensions that you want.
Figure this goes without saying, but the title is just clickbait. Gnome is completely useable. These are just optional optimizations.

I don’t use any extensions.
Additionally one could argue that is the way it should be.
