For example, a game gets an update that censors a sexy female character. People complain to the devs and then a short time later, they roll back the update and restore the character to how she was before. Have there been any examples of devs actually listening to people's complaints and undoing woke shit?

No, can't really remember under the 'Woke' brand, especially after the censorship. I do remember one but not woke:
Ubisoft was going to censor details in the map and game for Rainbow Six Siege GLOBALLY to ensure they could sell it to China. After backlash they didn't do it and made a seperate China version.
I can only think of one other example personally but it was before it released to customers:
Warframe one of the characters ass wasn't as good as advertised, gamers complained and an update just to improve her ass was done. I am being 100% serious!
The key part with these examples was it was BEFORE launch to the public so they were responding to feedback before launch. The censorship AFTER the release and just done in an update doesn't seem to get the same results, maybe because they have your money already.
It just means their future games might suffer because customers are cautious of them essentially taking back content.
Warframe is run by some of the horniest non-porn-game devs I'm aware of. Despite the fact that they're pretty deeply infected with the woke mind virus, they seem to get away with having hot female characters because almost none of them have actual faces.
I'd say they were closer to the risk of becoming cancerous with the original team as they were getting burnt out on the games development.
The change in leadership stopped that as the old team went on to make something new, the younger team who worked with them for years got promoted (most important of this was Pablo who plays the game so understands what needs to change) and it's been getting better since.
There's still a bit of lefty ideology in certain aspects but it never overtakes the game itself as they make hot characters as look at how many are currently simping for Protea Primes' ass.
