Don't know how much my input counts since I can't participate, but I'd say you should probably keep all your extensions legal.
Really, banning lefties is pretty game changing for LR. Low accuracy right arm weapons mixed in with faster AC's means it'll be harder to kill people for sure. Especially since many won't bother with a blade when they can tack on a solid shield or nothing, which is more likely to give a realistic benefit. Making you even harder to kill.
Missiles will just have a hard ass time trying to hit without some support. Imagine fighting a guy running U4/Kissyoh with missiles. He has his R2/RS/BP/Sawa/Shade/98L/LGL/GL/Geryon1/Geryon3 out and you're going at him with Nymphe/Satyros/MV/Spartoi. Remember, no leftie weapons. You're likely to do almost no damage while taking quite a bit in return trying to work those missiles. I don't think any dual back missiles compare to 98G or LX either, especially vs U4/Kissyoh. No extensions takes missiles from mid-tier to low-tier, haha.
QB extensions, Anti-Missiles, Side-Shields, etc. They're all pretty negligible. Battery packs are the lifeblood of OB tanks or tanks with large energy caps. I can't imagine any tanks having a serious match vs a Sawa only LW with Golgi on if they don't have something like LGL+Jiren. Especially since there's no lock-box buffing for those cannons.
Primarily I play LW Bipedals, Tanks, and Hovers. I dislike MW or HW BP's and I dislike Quads/RJ's of all kinds. I'm simply not experienced in them. As a serious Hover/Tank user I think extensions are just too important for those two types to work without them. Just taking out HP hurts both of those types severely. Btw, by serious I mean I take them seriously and try to improve at using them every time I play them. I don't mean I'm an expert with them, hahaha.
Anyway, I think you'd be better off banning Insides than you would be banning Extensions.
