Gnome changed their extensions with the release of gnome 40+
There are now 2 different apps managing what you ask.
Extensions are managed by the gnome-extensions-app package and configs are managed by the gnome-tweaks package.

On workstation the setting you ask about is in the gnome-tweaks package.
