You could look at it the other way and ask what the benefit would be of performing the schema extensions now as opposed to later. The full GC sync that used to cause a replication storm (in certain AD environments) does not occur with 2003 DCs.
Given that, historically, Microsoft is not exempt from mangling attributes through schema extensions I would probably wait until you have to before applying the updates. The usual advice about thorough lab testing applies...

We're evaluating Live Communications Server, Sharepoint, Biztalk, etc, etc. Is there any negatives involved in extending the schema if there's a possibility we may scrap these projects all together or is it not such a bad thing like it once was thought to be?
