It looks like support is either up to the developer or simply optimization is up to the developer. They mention that extension devs should start optimizing their desktop extensions for mobile but doesn't say whether that's required or simply suggested as a non-optimized extension may not work properly.

But theoretically, any extension at the very least could be made to work on mobile. It appears to be an open system as opposed to now where it's only approved ones.
