So is there a list or statistic of how many DOD projects actually use Ada?

Worked in the defence industry for a few years in the 2000s. I worked on exactly one Ada project. The rest were C/C++. I presume the shift away from Ada has accelerated if anythinng.

I worked in that industry and never saw a single project using Ada, but I've always been fascinated by different programming languages.
