If I have to give them my taxes for the last 3 years to qualify do I need to make above the poverty level on all 3 years. If we are talking gross income I'm fine for 2019 but 2020 & 2021 are a bit scetchy because of COVID. I make well over that level now but how will they assess all of that?

I was in 2019, but then unemployed from 3/20 to 9/21 due to COVID and a medical procedure. I am coming up on my 1 year anniversary to my current employer and about to get a raise as well as I am moving up in the company.

You will be providing information from 2020, 2021, and 2022 tax returns by the time you get to that stage.  Plenty of time to become an A-Student of the I-864 and it's instructions before then.  You'll "qualify" based on what your current pay stub says your income is, at THAT time.  Tax returns are about the past.
