If this is in a plenum ceiling, then I think it is not okay.
That looks way better than three extension rings!Fwiw there are the racketeers top hats, which are plastic, and made to go on a metal 4S box. They are listed, which presumably makes it definitely okay, if they were not listed would it still be okay?

Sooner or later someone just has to mention fire.Equivalent touch protection, yes.
Equivalent 15lb sledge hammer, probably.
Equivalent fire survivability, no.
It’s often not about money.What's the price difference between a steel cover and plastic? I can't imagine what would be in somebodies mind to want to do that.
