It depends what you mean by "the long term." I doubt this term will have the utility to span generations, but I expect it will enter the lexicon and stay there for a time measured in years, not months. It is way too soon to predict multi-generational staying power, but the odds are against it since the space high a very high turnover rate recently.
Take a look at your own usage in your critique/prediction:
"...their particular form of diversity..."
You are using then underlying lexical basis where "diversity" takes on the key semantics of exclusion/underrepresentation. This term is sticky.
Imposed terms get adopted for self-identification all the time. You listed "colored" as an imposed term, but it is still part of the NAACP name. The fact that they are now discarded doesn't change the fact that those terms were common for decades.
I know that as a thinker you are inclined to think of how things get parsed out when thought about logically, but logic is always trumped by convenience when it comes to common usage.
This term also has a major social backing you haven't considered. White cisgendered women can include themselves in this term and are therefore highly likely to prefer programs that address their needs as white women of programs more specifically targeted at people of color. White women have a massive sway over boardroom dialect, especially compared to the other people of diversity. (I tried really hard to avoid the term here, but right now I don't have another shared term to use without innovating --- the term is both sticky and useful)
