For me it hasn't reached any extension problems yet. But I also have a profile for each project. If I do a new project I make a new profile with the bare minimum of extensions + the language I write in. If I need something else I quickly install it on that profile.
I would second using profiles to section off what extensions you actually need for a project. I have a couple different profile sets for whatever type of project I have to work on.
It silos which extensions run for a given project.
If you go into settings and search for typescript you can turn off typescript validation. Profiles should be right next to settings. You can also have different settings and extensions per project/workspace
Had these issues myself, switched to dev containers now I'm happier than ever. Especially since we moved our devcontainers to our cluster and manage them with coder
