My wife and I have sent our form to extend her green card, but only got 2 extension notices so far. While waiting for any more from USCIS (I sent it to the right place) and have been married for more than 3 years now (got the GC on 1/14/2021), will she be able to apply for citizenship while waiting for an appointment with USCIS?

If the CPR filed I751 to remove conditions from a Conditional Resident to a Permanent Resident (can't tell because your timeline is blank, please fill it out), the CPR may file N400 at the 3 year mark (minus 90 days) from the issue date on the 2 year GC provided they are still married to the original US Spouse and living together regardless if the I751 has been approved or not already. 

Use the online calculator to determine when your filing window opens up.

Yes.  That is what my wife did.  It bumped the I-751.  Both were approved at the same interview.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..
