As a MediaWiki tarball user, I'd *love* something to rate extensions - even to show if anyone actually uses it and cares.

I fully agree with Dan on that. I'd be much more interested in +/- votes on feedback statements. I think that might be a direction worth exploring. A low barrier like that might help bring a more complete picture of sentiment on problems and ideas.

I'm not sure how related is this, but Article Feedback allowed user rating
- comment, and it was deployed in Wikimedia servers. Editors didn't find it
that useful for regular articles (too much extra work processing too little value feedback on top of Talk pages), but maybe this could (with small or not so small adaptation, I don't know) in the very specific context of a beta feature page.
Speaking as someone who's been the product owner of a beta feature, I know I'd find a star rating for a beta feature totally useless. Star ratings don't tell you anything about *why* a user likes or dislikes a feature, so I have no information to go off.
In terms of getting feedback from comments, you're right that that's useful. But I can get that right now by going to the discussion page of the beta feature. Bear in mind that the Hovercards talk page on mediawiki.org was, for a while, the most active Flow page *across the entire cluster.*
So, I'm left a little unclear what the proposed improvement actually is.
