Not as woke as people may think, but woke enough to merit calling it out.
There is a small amount of Wokeness in this movie. Giving the line "With great power comes great responsibility" to Aunt May because they didn't want to incorporate Uncle Ben in the MCU is something that many Spider-Man fans will notice.
A Line where Electro talks to Spider-Man and wishing Andrew Garfield Spider-Man was black, and Andrew Garfield apologizing for not being black comes off as white guilt, not as a joke as I have heard others suggest. The wishing blackness could be a shout out to Miles Morales, but in today's current IDP climate, it reeks of Identity Politics (IDP).
While there are these two elements, the movie does provide a sense of entertainment and emotional entertainment too.

Not that woke
Sorry a real woke story line would not work as a story.

I cannot detect any wokeness in this movie. Thought it was pretty darn good. Though, I have heard some speculations that they might make Aunt May as a lesbian. Think the actress who played her wanted her role to be as lesbian. Thankfully, that didn’t happen

Not Woke
Great story full of nostalgia and an outgoing cast. Clean fun and grand story-telling. Does not contain any forced ideological pandering or indoctrination.

SPOILER-FILLED Review of Spider-Man: SJW
These comments include BIG SPOILERS, so refrain from reading if this is a concern.
Uncle Ben has been replaced completely by Aunt May. Aunt Ben is surly and unlikable (Hollywood's version of a "strong" woman.) She has Happy wrapped around her little finger, reducing him to an emotionally needy and clingy mess, while she tells him their involvement was simply fun and no big deal. In fact, until she dies, the movie is basically the Aunt May Show. In the grand tradition of the recent MCU (i.e., Avengers: Endgame), Peter must be saved by a "strong" woman--in this case, the completely powerless, untrained, and ordinary-in-every-way May. Before taking her last annoying breath, she teaches Peter all the wrong lessons, with the ultimate one (and main message of the movie) being that all people--even super-villains who are mass murderers--deserve second chances. All the villains are depicted as victims who need help, and that's just what Uncle May, Peter, and company set out to do. There are a lot of woke examples that ensure I'll never watch this movie again, but the following is the most blatant:
Jamie Foxx: "You're from Queens. You got that suit, you help a lot of poor people. I just thought you was gonna be Black."
Andrew Garfield: "Oh, man. I'm sorry."
Me, too--I'm sorry I watched this. I really enjoyed the MCU early on (particularly before Disney took over), but it's now agenda-driven garbage.

RiseUpNowOrPerishLater
Spider-Woke. There is no Man here.
Tell me if you think this sounds like a good movie.
"Tech savvy hero wants to get in a college but can't because he is stupid asks for a magical hero who doesn't have the greatest magical hero title to wipe everyone's memory.
Magical hero is also dumb and listens and leaves other dumb hero to sit there while he focus on casting a spell then messes up to no one's surprise.
Cameos of a bunch of characters from better movies appear and bad guys are BAD now fight then the end."
The guys who wrote episodes for American Dad wrote the screenplay and it really shows.
Typical brownwashing of White characters and mixed race couple pushing. Brownwashed woman also smart. Brown fat kid can use Dr. Strange's magic ring because writing wants brown people to do stuff.
A bunch of woke and cringe lines with typical Marvel movies serious moments to random quip moments so nothing feels like it matters.
Uncle Ben never existed apparently because can't have any men in the film.
Lots of predictable scenes. Bad guys are really bad guys? No way!! American Dad writers at their best. They tried to Aunt May's death seem sad but she says "Let me catch my breath" then dies. You can't make this writing up.
Such a disappointing movie made to trick people into nostalgia while being garbage. I wouldn't be surprised if more movies do this since it can trick people by using the "I KNOW THEM"

Mild woke, still a good watch
The other reviews are accurate. I still watched it despite the mild woke themes. It was right down the middle. Wasn't too in your face, forced down your throat, just some woke scenes here and there. Late 90s/early 2000 Marvel/Spider-Man fans will enjoy it but notice how things have changed; woke elements, more than just a token black/brown character.
Overall: 7.5/10

Ugh
Well, besides race swapping Mary Jane and making all the lead characters as bratty kids, I despised that Aunt May is basically a social worker or something giving people free food because of her pure pureness. They help some villains who turn around and kill them.
Not conventionally woke, but continues the trend where villains and thugs are "really not that bad", and how it's perfectly acceptable to have random criminals kill your aunt. We see more than a few villain glorifying films like Maleficent and Cruella, and the left seems to like criminals and lowlifes in general.
The fact that his mom is proud of him basically screwing up reality because he's a brat and can't make up his mind, then he fixes things and it doesn't even manage to bring people who died back?!? Yeah, this movie blows. Why does nobody tell him flatly that NO, that wasn't a good plan you did? That these people are hoodlums, and you caused your mother's death because you couldn't let Doctor Strange cast a spell properly, and then compounded it by trying to help villains instead of just letting Strange send them back. That you almost imploded the universe because you are a millennial twit!
