No permissions, unable to do some advanced blocking stuff, unable to pull an updated list of ad urls (which means you have to update the extension to get updated ad lists), and so on

(which means you have to update the extension to get updated ad lists)

Extensions get updated automatically, though, right?

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.

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

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.
