I read stories online of people having issues either entering Mexico or returning to US with the expired GC + extension letter few years ago (when I had a chance to go) and ultimately decided not to test my luck.

 

Couldn't tell you the exact circumstances but plenty of stories online with various outcomes.

Yes there are lots of stories. FUD is a powerful force.  All I can say is in 2022 we we’ve done it twice.  As have others in 

Mexico is by far the most friendly country to extension letters other than the USA
