well, it's still Typo3 v4, so you can use all fancy t3lib_befunc, 
$GLOBALS['TCA'] and whatever else you need in your backend controller. 
Due to the fact that the v5 backend will be completely different, BE 
modules can't be migrated anyway I'd say - so feel free to do whatever 
you like to do there and use "old school" stuff where needed and no 
wrappers are available for.

But if you can use extbase methods for certain things or not depends on 
the functionality you need. You can get TCA column information also on 
using the columnMap etc. from extbase, but AFAIK extbase has no methods 
to get a extension list f.e.
