IP masking will impact TheWikipediaLibrary extension. The extension will not work with temp accounts because it depends upon setting a preference, which temp accounts can't do (see T326816: Update features for IP Masking).
We already have a number of simple checks on user accounts in our code that decides whether or not to send a notification, and all we need to do is add an additional check for $user->isTemp().

I ended up looking at this out of order, and it's pretty straightforward.
The extension is not currently safe for wikis with temp accounts, but it is very straightforward to fix.
The extension will not work with temp accounts because it depends upon setting a preference, which temp accounts can't do (see T326816: Update features for IP Masking).
