I wonder if there could be a community pseudo-enterprise that could eg have a reasonable whitelist of extensions...

Chrome Enterprise is free (it’s just a zipped file with GPOs and the MSI installer for Chrome). These policies should apply on the Chrome you already have.

IMO, at least for linux, popular (open source) extensions should be part of the distribution.
