For many of us UML has been completely irrelevant for decades. If you're deep down the OOP rabbit hole, then UML can have it's place in helping you keep track of your hierarchies. If you use it then I'd assume that getting your process of keeping it updated as automated as possible would be a high priority, unless you want it to rod in some ivory tower.
Personally I view architecture in UML, ArchiMate or draw.io rather than being build with something similar icepanel.io to be a complete waste of my time. But that's just me.
Remember when people used tools like Rational Rose to satisfy project managers and pointy-hair bosses?
And not to satisfy documentation requirements for critical safety systems.
