Documentation should serve as a general overview of the system (purpose, architecture, etc.), and elaborate on the interface of that system. Other than documenting historical relics like ADRs, I see it as a net negative in being very granular.
It quickly becomes outdated and at some point you just need to accept that only the code will be the most accurate source of truth.
