Installing software doesn’t void the warranty but if you can do without that extension you are probably better off. For Mac/Windows compatibility I format my drive on the Mac using the exFAT format which both platforms can use without drivers. The problem with an NTFS extension is that it almost always is broken by an OS upgrade and sometimes even with an OS update. That leaves you and your data at the mercy of the 3rd party developer. (I used to use Paragon’s NTFS extension until a couple years ago when I got bit by this.)
