You do not need to do anything at this time. Apple is telling you that such extensions will not be supported in a futre version of macOS and that developers have to take care of it:

I strongly recommend AGAINST removing legacy extensions today. Some new version of OSX will do that.


⚠️ The reason to leave this alone now is that some third-party legacy extensions are used by Apple as part of the current OS. Removing one now could create big issues with your computer.
