What "listed" means
Paid add-ons on Superhive list the Blender versions the author has checked. When a new Blender version comes out, that list is often a few weeks behind, and the add-on may work fine before the author updates it.
Free add-ons on Blender Extensions declare the oldest Blender they need and usually no upper limit, so nearly all of them count as compatible. That does not prove they were tested on the newest version.
Before you upgrade
Keep your old Blender installed next to the new one until your important add-ons are confirmed. Blender versions install side by side.
