Can say nothing about dark theme, but in light it looks pretty good (+ Chrome's dark theme is actually black when Edge's is gray, so nothing will change).
It is not a regression, because the new popup has a lot of pros, such as displaying at a glance which extensions have access to web page, and which is not, more intuitive pinning of extensions and now I don't have to remember which extension corresponds to which icon => faster finding the desired extension on the screen if there are many.

displaying at a glance which extensions have access to web page, Edge's current implementation allows for that too. extension icons with white circle and in this form are inactive, the rest are active for that website or set for on-click activation.
it's a clear indication imo
like you said it only might be good for showing the names next to icons for quickly finding which extension is which if their icons are too similar, although you can hover over or touch the icon to see their names on Edge too.
