Even I was in the same place. I used like a gazillion extensions, some for pure aesthetic reasons. It made the shell slow and I themed a lot too. All this made shell very laggy and cluttered. One day I slashed like 10 extensions together. And now I am at 5 extensions I guess which doesn't meddle much with the UI/UX . Out of which I rarely use one(windowNavigator). Like the whole thing is is pretty much optimized for trackpad. If u want to switch just start slashing extensions one by one. And finally you'll understand vanilla gnome's U/X.
p.s for trackpad use Wayland. Many gnome apps have multi-finger gestures.
As I said I'm pretty opinionated on UX and vanilla experience is not something I liked so there is no way I'm going back there again. Also, I don't think any of these extensions are heavy and anyway I have never felt any lag/clutter in my setup. Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Sorry, Kinda opinionated when it comes to UX and default GNOME way IMO sucks in some areas :P
