Thanks for looking it.
The addtional provider function in pg_stat_statements is just an
example to show what if it needs its own query-id provider, which is
useless in reality. In reality pg_stat_statements just calls
"queryIdWanted("default", true)" to use any query-id provider and use
the in-core one as the fallback implement, and no need to define its
own one.
Any extension can use the in-core provider and accepting any other
ones by calling queryIdWanted("default", true) then get what they want
regardless of existence of pg_stat_statements.

Of course if two extensions require diffrent query-id providers, they
just cannot coexist (that is, server refuses to start). It is quite
sane behavior in the standpoint of safety. I think almost all
query-id users don't insist on a specific implmentation. (So the
second parameter to queryIdWanted() could be omtted and assumed to be
true.)
