str(right - left) で、O(log chars.length) の文字数のメモリが確保されると思うのですが、それが constant extra space と言えるのかどうか気になりました。かりに str をしようしないとしたら、どのようなロジックにすればよいでしょうか?

ご指摘の通りで、count の桁数分 O(log chars.length) の空間計算量になりますね。自力で気付けませんでした。以下の関数を定義することで constant extra space になるかと思います。
def append_count(length_before, count):
length_after = length_before
while count > 0:
chars[length_after] = str(count % 10)
count //= 10
length_after += 1
left = length_before
right = length_after - 1
while left < right:
chars[left], chars[right] = chars[right], chars[left]
left += 1
right -= 1
return length_after
