No permissions, unable to do some advanced blocking stuff, unable to pull an updated list of ad urls (which means yiu have to update the extension to get updated ad lists), and so on
yes, but ublock gets its blocklists from an external address, which cannot be done with manifest v3. and updating the extension is something that can take weeks until approved, while google could just outmaneuver ublock.
The change hasn’t even officially happened yet. Over time, following the changes, ad tech will get restructured to take advantage of the new limitations so ads can’t be blocked. Nothing will change overnight.

Extensions get updated automatically, though, right?

Despite all the drawbacks, so far I don’t notice a difference.
