As someone who had both a little bit of protrusion and extractions, I can tell you in my case the extractions definitely got rid of the protrusion. There are major tradeoffs, though, like tongue space and the teeth being retroclined, due to the forces involved in space closure. Wouldn't recommend it for comfort. The surgeon should ideally put the models on an articulator, or use software, and perform model surgery to see if you can extract those teeth and still have enough space. If not, and you want the extraction treatment plan, then you're looking at something like segmenting the upper jaw.
You might have tongue discomfort/tongue space issues once you extract.
I'm against extractions except for linear advancements where they only pull two lower 2nd bicuspids. Very specific cases. I don't see that here, but if protrusion is a major concern then maybe it becomes an option, but you need to discuss all that with your surgeon.
And for the record, I wasn't recommending CCW necessarily - just that it would fix some of your major concerns. I think you need to slow things down and learn more, and maybe go on more consults. You're getting a lot of information from us, and you're concerns are changing as you learn more. To me this always means slow things down, learn more, and get more consults.
I also think it's important you get confirmation from the surgeon that your condyles can handle the proposed movements. They're not pictured in your scan, and that's concerning given your symptoms with the joints.
