>For example, it does not have words for numbers

It has two official number systems (described in the official Toki Pona book - https://tokipona.org ). They're not practical for big numbers, and they are a bit cumbersome, but they're there.

>left and right. I've never had it be necessary to use these words. Often "on my/your side" if I'm walking with someone, or "beside/towards X" if there's a feature there.

(it has deficiencies, and can be cumbersome, but these aren't them)

>Does anyone knows of some kind of slightly extended version of Toki Pona?

certain people add/coin words to do certain things, and some people use obsolete/archaic ones, but nothing's caught on generally. More generally think there's a world of minlangs (minimalistic languages), but I don't know much about it, alas.
