IMO, assuming good faith adherence to the current message scopes, Microsoft could at best learn that numerous developers from a specific office building (well, not nowadays, I suppose) are using a certain type of technology requiring a certain type of extension. But I don't think there would be any actionable intelligence.
That said, any extension developer could add their own telemetry which could log keystrokes, or otherwise exfiltrate data. You give tremendous trust to the developers of any extension you add to an IDE.
