Also keep in mind ahsoka doesnt know in rebels... so vader = anakin isnt common knowledge.
Finding out is usually a big deal for a specific character or plot point in post order 66 stories
I agree completely. Some of my favorite moments from the canon comics involve people dancing around the fact these Vader is Anakin. Padme’s friends/guards actually believe that Vader killed Anakin and Padme all the way through Empire Strikes Back. Like you pointed out, it’s huge for Ahsoka in Rebels when she finds out. Even Thrawn gets into the Empire just by knowing Anakin’s name (and by citing Anakin’s trust in Thrawn’s abilities). There are more than a few moments where Thrawn/Vader interact, and it’s interesting that Thrawn respects Vader’s power but doesn’t know he’s Anakin. Vader’s identity has been a powerful mystery/reveal ever since 1980, so it’s a little weird that Reva just seemed to casually know who Vader was.
That being said, I’m interested in how they explain why she knows. I’m guessing it will be an essential moment in her story too.
