Prior to VSCode 1.72, the relevant message was not displayed. In fact, it is more correct to display.
The official explanation of this message is roughly as follows.
We are not trying to block VS Code patching, but we want to raise awareness that patching VS Code means you are running an unsupported version.
Respecting this assertion, this extension makes no attempt to prevent such messages from being displayed.
Even if we were to prevent it from being displayed, I believe the officials will block it.

Are you developing on multiple machines?
You no longer need to hand out image! with this features.
First, upload the wallpaper settings you wish to Sync.
Next, download and setup the wallpaper settings on another machines.
Want to delete your uploaded wallpaper settings?
Of course you can turn it delete. Just go to the menu and click on Delete or Uninstall and your uploaded wallpaper settings will be gone!
The Sync feature is achieved by converting image data to strings in Base64 and sharing them via Settings Sync.
Settings Sync backend is probably provided by Microsoft. And definitely not intended for image data sharing.
If you try to share an image file over MB (maybe even KB) with Settings Sync, Microsoft will be offended. They will reject the this extension and possibly disable the account of the user using the this extension from Settings Sync.
If you use it, please take its dangers into consideration.
The Base64 string uploaded to Settings Sync is encrypted in AES256 CTR mode.
Therefore, there is no fear of prying eye.
Unless you use poor values for password and salt, or I have made a mistake in the implementation of the cryptographic call.
