I think this isn't specific to these extensions. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/82524

The error is eliminated while disabling the extension. And see code of the extension at branch dev (ce93cf99cc2355503954fe2879b8ce117e845150): in file 'vscode-sqltools\packages\util\persistence\serializable-storage.ts'

You are right. I have submitted a PR to resolve this in the next release.
