And the vast vast majority don't use preferences. I don't think it'll be a huge issue. The extensions that are broken and people use will quickly be found and fixed.
How gracefully will old extensions fail?
I'd assume fatally, but extensions sometimes break when core code updates. That's a fact of life. One way to avoid this is to ask to get it checked into Wikimedia SVN, so a grep can show that there are users and they can be fixed by whoever makes the breaking change.
I believe they'll just not have their extended preferences displayed until they've updated to work with the non-crappy, actually sanely extensible, preferences interface.
Nothing else would be affected.
