I don't like pouring too much into "meek" because the Sermon on the Mount is intended to deliver an eschatalogical shock. If you blunt "meek" you will faith to deliver on what Jonathan Edwards calls the "diverse excellencies" https://paulvanderklay.me/2016/12/02/diverse-excellencies-from-tim-keller/ . Jesus is archetypal because he is maximally meek AND dangerous at the same time but if you cloud the word "meek" you lose that language to draw that contrast.
