Any recommendations or warnings as I consider products to accomplish this?

I got my club car used, and it came with a slide-on extender. After trying to use it for 10 minutes I gave up. It kept falling off or shifting to the side. Plus it raised the gas pedal much higher than the brake pedal, which added potential danger.
Instead, I bought a lumbar support pillow that pushes me forward on the seat. SOOOOO much easier, and more comfortable! You can stick a little bit of velcro on the back of the cart seat down at the very bottom, almost out of sight, and the pillow will stay put when you get in/our or take turns.
If yours doesn't come with a composit board insert to keep it stiff in the back, you can cut up any thick (corrugated) piece of plastic to put in, they all come with zippers so you can wash the cover. I used an old lawn sign from a golf tournament that the club was throwing in the trash, and I rescued it because I knew it could be re-purposed.
I'm 5'2" so I know her pain. The support pillow truly solves the problem SO much better than a pedal extender will.
This is the one I got:
