One issue is that the woke fad constantly generates hot new buzzwords, such as "equity" and "racial reckoning, so taking your 2018 list and updating it to 2022 will always make it look like woke words are in decline when, perhaps, instead the old ones are being replaced with new ones.
Don't be fooled. All the negative push-back about "Woke" is just the patriarchy getting pissed off at having lost ground. Woke was originally shorthand for awareness of and support for all the good things accomplished over the past 60 years to undo just a smidge of the horrible misdeeds of centuries of White/Male/Anglo-Euro Patriarchy. It was a positive word. It described positive things. Those things are still positive, even though the culture warrior propagandists have succeeded in flipping the brand.
