I think she's also maybe more 1998 progressive than 2018 progressive, which also hurts her. (I say that as someone who grew up in 1998.) I don't think she's trying to be woke, I just don't think she realizes how controversial the move is. (I 100% believe, FWIW, that the Naga/Nagini link is real. JKR already admitted to cutting out a lot of things, so why not Nagini's backstory?)

I think Rowling kinda suffers from the same issue that Joss Whedon does... he believes he's earned his feminist street cred with BtVS, but doesn't seem to realize that while BtVS was cutting edge back in the day, it's 2018 and that aspect of the show isn't really passing the test of time. Similarly, I think in her head, Rowling is very "woke" compared to how a lot of readers (especially younger ones) might see her. And to be fair, she's very progressive for a woman of her age and socio-economic status, and compared to many of her peers she's very vocal about it.

Now, I totally believe the Naga/Nagini link. But I don't think Rowling included it to be diverse, I think she was just borrowing a neat sounding tidbit from another culture, much like she's borrowed a lot of the elements of her universe.
