Why don’t mozilla addon pages have addon versions on the top
This is a minor annoyance, but I don't understand the sense of it.
Firefox addon pages used to have the addon versions and dates at the top of the page, next to the addon name. Now you have to scroll halfway down the page to see this information.
Does this make sense to anyone?

jscher2000 saidIt depends on what the sites have access to. For example, on the Add-ons site, you can click a button to uninstall any installed add-on when you are on its page. On this site, you can click a Share Data button to provide data from the Troubleshooting Information page. On the Firefox Accounts site, well, let's not even broach the consequences.When you say "Add-ons site", do you mean about:addons, or any Mozilla addon hosted page?
I mean https://addons.mozilla.org/
Are there any domains you would feel comfortable with clearing from extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
I have removed this site (support.mozilla.org) from the list so I can use some specific productivity and styling tools here. I understand this allows nosy extensions to extract large amounts of information about my Firefox if they want to (I trust them not to).

I would prefer it on top myself. I'm not a big fan of de-cluttering the interface to the point of having to take extra steps to find things.
As a quick reference, you could bookmark this internal URL: about:support#extensions-tbody
By the way, your Firefox reports it is version 68. Are you on the Extended Support Release channel?
Is this about the Addons website or about the builtin about:addons page ?

You can use this bookmarklet to open the Addons website version history page.
- javascript:void(location.pathname+='versions/');

If you need the version up there, you can run this little script, but of course extensions are disabled on AMO, so how would you do that automatically? Hmm...
document.querySelector('h1.AddonTitle').childNodes[0].textContent += ' ' + document.querySelector('dd.AddonMoreInfo-version').textContent;

I'm sure you must know about this about:config entry
extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
Locate it up and empty all the domains, and then you can run addons.
But I don't know how to go about incorporating that script to test it
Yes, I don't recommend lettings all add-ons run on restricted Mozilla domains since the product allows elevated privileges on some of those domains.
You could create a userscript in Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey, or Violentmonkey to run the script.

What are the possible consequences of of doing so?

You can of course run this JavaScript as a bookmarklet and ad the version data if you need it.
javascript:void(document.querySelector('h1.AddonTitle').childNodes[0].textContent+=' '+document.querySelector('dd.AddonMoreInfo-version').textContent);
