It is not a very impressive list of future technologies for the year 2022, unfortunately. I don't mean this as shade: I just mean that most of these are older ideas that have either been deployed or attempted (with limited success.)
Clearly money and DeFi are already real and well-established things, whether they're "going great" is in the eye of the beholder. DAOs have been around for a while, and the main examples Vitalik lists are basically DeFi apps that call themselves DAOs. General-purpose DAOs that have real-world influence remain questionable things, mostly because they have too many human and legal dependencies. On-chain identity might be exciting. NFTs might eventually prove to have exciting real applications beyond apes. Blockchain voting remains an old idea that doesn't have much real benefit outside of DeFi project governance.
