Its a relatively small community compared to other genres. You see plenty of people who are like "maybe we shouldn't use gypsy anymore" but also enough people who don't care that the genre is still called "Gypsy Jazz" more than the other two names.
I honestly hate referring to it irl because no one knows what I'm saying when I say Manouche.
That being said I've spoken to zero Manouche players irl. I've only been to one live jazz show and it was literally the week before Covid lockdowns hit and other folks at the table next to us were joking it would be the last one for a while and they were quite right.
