It's impossible to mention anarcho-capitalism in a non-ancap forum without more traditional anarchists coming in and screaming into the wind that anarcho-capitalism isn't real anarchism. In the end, the normies don't know enough about the debate to have an opinion, or care, or even realize it exists, and the ancaps don't care what the socialist anarchists think on the matter.

The whole debate feels like a fruitless exercise to reclaim territory that is long lost.

You're not wrong in your analysis, but as a student of Orwell, I object strenuously to the idea that the fight over what words mean is pointless.
Perhaps linguistic territory could be recaptured with seasteading?
