I have the same problem. I did some tests and found a possible solution. There's a soft link directory in my workspace, and i added it into code-workspace setting. Like as below:

{
	"folders": [
		{
			"path": "my/workspace/SOFT/LINK"
		},
		{
			"path": "my/workspace/xxxx"
		}
	],
}

When i removed the path of soft link, the extension will not disappear.

The folders in my workspace are all remote ssh directories

"folders": [
		{
			"uri": "vscode-remote://ssh-remote+foo.org/bar"
		},
	],

Can you provide any info to help me debug what's happening please @JohnstonCode? Or is this not a supported setup?

I've never used it with remote ssh directories so wouldn't be able to advise it if should work or not.

That is strange i don't remember there being an specific checks against soft links.
