What is the best way to extend a required value set? For example, for DetectedIssue resource, we would like to have "very low" value for the severity element. I assume we would need an extension, what type of extension would be best in this case?

If the value set is 'required', you can't extend the value set. You can send an extension on the element to convey additional nuance, but you need to pick one of the existing codes.
