It was still used but was mostly superseded by other weapons at that stage.
My point is primarily that they have more history together than separate. Though I'm not sure what is used on the battlefield is what an adventurer should use in a cave, in some lost forgotten ruins, on the mountain side against a dragon, in Alushinyrra, in a poison swamp or under the city in the sewers. We can maybe come up with reasons why our characters have shirked battlefield wisdom in favor of our preferred adventuring gear. Maybe crawling through tight spaces in caves and dungeons makes polearms a real hindrance? And to be clear, I'm with you on team polearms. They are the best kind of weapon for real fighting at minimum for the reach advantage

I'll note that my Devise a Stratagem tables include all of the finesse, agile, and ranged options, so they are prettty close to a sneak attack options list.
I also have tables listing all of the finesse options.
I went ahead and compiled tables of the unarmed attacks and weapons that can be used with Sneak Attack.
