Same problem here with the latest code insiders as of writing this on macOS 10.14, extension snippets stopped showing up at all.
installed a couple of React snippets extensions, and when creating a js file and writing the snippets prefix, nothing show up in the snippet Suggestions!

Does this mean you know what the cause and fix is @jrieken ?

Yeah, that's usually what closed bug means 🤓

I asked because I didn’t see a comment explaining you fixed it.
