[AXIS_3]
TYPE = LINEAR


It just does not make sense to me to treat extruder as another axis,
whose velocity would determine the amount of extruded material,
because the machine is going to move the extruder along its
coordinates at a given velocity, determined by F word in g-code. I do
not see a way to control the velocity for A separately from XYZ.

IMHO extruder should be treated as a spindle, so that You can have
different S word for every G1/G2/G3 move, if needed.
That way actual velocity of the extruder's movement and control of the
rate of extrusion would be totally separated and independent.
If the extruder is driven by stepper motor, then You can run a stepgen
in velocity mode and use requested spindle velocity as stepgen's
input, no problem to arrange that.
