I didn't find it too woke. There's the character creation thing and a lot of blatantly gay people around. And as always, the evil choices are objectively worse than the good choices in terms of writing and content (in other words, saving people is better than being selfish).
For reference, I'm in mid chapter 3, about 150 hours in.
On a woke scale of 1-10, I'd give BG3 a 3.5. Tolerable, with the occasional, rare, cringe-inducing moment.

I guess I'd need to know about the content of the stories to judge if they were "political", but painting a mech in rainbow colors strikes me as so milquetoast that deleting such posts is petty.
I disagree strongly. Rainbow colors are a political statement in the same way that a swastika is a political statement.

How do you keep track of what you've read online? How do you manage your personal research? Do you have a system? Do you have collections, and keep notes? Is this an actual problem you have?
I have a backup folder that I update and copy to a flash drive a few times a year. I've named the .txt files by intentionally adding a number at the start of the name (0 to 5) to signify the importance and make it easier to sort them. For example, "2contacts.txt" lists my acquaintances, their contact information, birthdays, etc.
The downside is that this system takes a moderate amount of effort to regularly update/trim/reorganize everything. The upside is that I basically never forget anything.
I hate the inventory management and gameplay but love the writing and sheer number of choices and consequences. I'm still seeing decisions I made 150 hours ago impact my current story. Minor, barely noticeable decisions in side-quests early on in chapter 1 still matter late in chapter 3.
I am once more reminded of that one Bioware lady who wanted a "skip gameplay" button.
