Yeah, the TV show was a mixed bag and I can understand why a lot of fans who have read the book(s) were disappointed...but I felt it could have been worse.
But then I watched the 6 short animated episodes (that were hidden or something in the TV show episodes)...and they were so good and true to the books that it actually pushed me more to not like the TV show which deviated quite a bit by the end.
The biggest one being "pillow friends" and what that means. It's made explicitly clear (or as near as possible) in one of the middle books what that means. Yes, a sexual relationship between two women. I think it was a noblewoman and a Sea Folk woman were caught being pillow friends. The Sea Folk woman said it was because she had been away from her husband for so long...then she gets blackmailed because she doesn't want others to know because she's afraid her husband will leave her if he finds out. So yeah...
Two of the characters were pillow friends when they were younger (as stated in the books). I don't think the books ever said they continued that relationship...but the TV show tweaked/added onto that they did. So IMO, not a "woke issue" but a product of them changing characters/story for "adaptation reasons" really. It served one purpose (showing two character working closely in secret) but has the potential to cause problems down the line.
Warders and Aes Sedai relationships...it's in the book. Sometimes they even marry. Orgy stuff...hmm, not in the book?...but I could see it as something that would happen.
Diversity...so the characters in the books have a ton of diversity. But it's geographically and by countries for the most part, the TV show decided to just make all groups of people diverse (so far). I think it's actually a good "adaptation reason" and the cast diversity was a highlight of the show.

Don't blame the author for the woke nonsense that is the TV series.

Absolutely one of my favorite series, but I couldn't bring myself to watch the amazon prime garbage after reading what they did to the characters.

And shows and movies based on books are never going to please everybody, it's just not possible.
