I was surprised when an argument against a valueset having an extensible binding was that then you may have to use multiple code-systems in the valueset and the may the terminology service gets more complicated. I assume that no standard code system is complete and you are inevitably going to be adding a new codes from from time to time - at a minimum - from a locally defined code system until the a new standard code is available. which is why we have extensible in the first place. Is this a real challenge?

It's going to be a challenge for some, particularly those with a v2 background that are used to ignoring the notion of code system. I don't think that's an argument for ignoring the needs of reality though...
