Fair question. I've read a couple of critiques of Diátaxis that suggest additional boxes.
FAQs and "Gotchas" need a "home box". So do gists. Maybe a third dimension would be something like "degree of curation" or "need for taxonomy and organisation" ?
FWIW... DITA has concepts, tasks, & references - and AFAICT these map fairly nicely to Diátaxis.
FAQ lists are the equivalent of the box in my garage where I put things when I've been told to get them out of the house, and I can't actually be bothered to put them in the right place.
