re: Will the NFL moving back extra points take away from some of the exciting ending

No, it will make extra points more important now. You may even start to see situations where a false start forces a team to consider going for two more frequently. Moving it back is probably the smartest thing they've done in recent history IMO.

Making extra points important is stupid as frick.
Who wants to watch a game end on a missed 33 yard field goal?

I think you start to see teams go for 2 more often now. Teams made extra points 99.3% (1222 of 1230) of the time last year. Teams made 30-39 yard field goals 90.0% of the time last year. That's 1107 of 1230. Basically 100 more misses. And if the kick is blocked, it can be returned for 2 points.
NFL teams made 58 attempts at the two point conversion last year and made 28. While that's only 48%, it makes for interesting decisions because out of 100 tries, 90% of 1 point gets you 90 points and 48% of 2 points gets you 96 points.

I agree with all this. There wasn't much of a challenge with PAT's from the 3. At least now it creates a little more suspense and it's not as much of a guarantee.
It'll really be interesting in November/December/January when cold weather/outdoor teams are kicking them from that distance in the wind.
