so should I use my crates now or save em for next season

Perhaps my memory is failing me, but didn't they say E.G.O Shards get halved, and remaining Crates are forced to be opened (before then halving all the shards)?

Hm, if anything's confusing, I heard Season 1 Shard-purchasable content gets removed for the duration of season 2, and added back in 3, or something? (While still staying in the Extraction pool, but not being directly shard-buyable or something, or...?)

Blah, confusing mess. Why can't they just make it 50% cheaper, give each season it's own Shelf/category, and make Extractions only draw current-season content or something...
This whole season thing is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up confusing mess.

no , half of the crates get converted to thread crates
as for OP's question
i leave crates for identities i want, like for this event didn't feel like doing gasha to get ryuku's id and the ego, so i purchased them instead

Here's what happens at the end of each season:

• Half of EGO shards get converted into thread.
  
• Half of EGO shard boxes get converted into thread crates.
  
• EGO+IDs from the current season (they're labled as "Season #" on their info page) are removed from the shard shop for the next season. They remain in the extraction pool.
  
• Event EGO+IDs are removed from the shard shop and extraction pool for one season.

The main take away is that half of shards and boxes get converted into thread and if you miss any seasonal ID/EGO in Season 1 you'll be able to buy it from the shard shop in season 3.

No. Half of them becomes strands of Thread Crates, rounded down.

they are called season 1 crates for a reason

Ah, neat, thanks. Still a pain stuff gets shelved for a season, would it kill them to just make Shards/Boxes work on any season and have Season 1 / Season 2 / etc tabs in the store so we can continue to buy them (ideally at 50% off for out-of-season - since they're non-extractable)?

Losing acces for 3-6 months is kinda annoying (you know how "fast" PM dev time is).
Ah well, guess for now its just get that bug boi, broken boi and literal windmill crusader (and whatever else pops up) before the season ends.
