i still have a vague mistrust of file extensions longer than three characters.

like a glass walkway, i know .jpeg is just as safe as .jpg, but there's a hint of uneasiness.

I also have a vague mistrust of non-alphanumerics in file extensions. Like while .c++ is fine, .cpp feels…safer?

Well, yeah. Why would you tempt the shell to get garbled?

.cc and .hh feels the most serious.
