From what I heard, I think knowledge/awareness of this is split, kinda. Since the novel is very popular, quite a few people have caught on via cultural osmosis. There definitely is enough subtext that plenty of people did notice it, especially with the absence of an actual female lead.

However, there are a lot of people who are borderline or all out homophobic or just that conservative that they can't imagine any two male characters going beyond the "sworn brothers" route they had to go for in the show due to censorship. So between that and people (especially male viewers) not knowing what kind of novel thks was an adaption of, there was actually a sizable surge of watchers shipping Wei Wuxian with his adoptive sister.

I guess that sounds pretty typical, haha. So many anime out there, even up to Yuri on Ice and gayer, where people are gonna insist they are "just bros" even though it's obvious. I think there are a few anime out there adapted from actual yaoi hentai games, like Dramatical Murder, that cut the canon gay and some viewers still claim bros are just being bros.
