Obviously not the best but I beat on it pretty good and so far nothing has broken.
I will say the 1/4 6" in my set wasn't perfectly straight but not a huge deal.
It will lose a shit ton of torque in the process. 6" won't lose as much, but still.
If you're slapping a universal joint of there. Forget about any torque.
There is a formula to calculate the torque loss through an extension.

Now this is for use with a torque wrench but with an impact, you aren't as concerned with exact torque specs when removing.
If you are using it to torque a bolt, you are using the impact wrong.

You would ideally use chrome socket with a torque wrench.
Go watch Torque Test Channel videos for real world application of impact sockets with impact wrenches.
Literally covers this very thing, and shows huge loss of torque with 10" and universal jointa.

The math is available to calculate exactly how much torque is lost with extensions, both CrMO and CV, length etc etc.
The type of socket hasn't really affected torque in my experience of materials testing.
