Recent gnome-shell versions don't enforce the supported version list
from metadata.json, so this *should* already work; the Steam tray-icon
certainly does work with 3.26 in an X11 session.
If you have previously toggled
/org/gnome/shell/disable-extension-version-validation in dconf, then
your Shell might still be enforcing the version check? (Try
dconf-editor, or
`gsettings reset org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation`;
only the default behaviour changed, the code for the check still exists.)
For this particular extension it might also be necessary to log out and
back in: I'm not sure whether the X11 tray-icon embedding protocol is
such that it can work correctly if the tray appears when you are already
running an app that wants to be displayed there.
Finally, if you're using the default GNOME-on-Wayland session, it might
be necessary to switch session mode to GNOME on Xorg (using the gear
wheel icon below the password box, if you're using gdm) - I don't
know whether tray icon embedding works in XWayland.
