However, feels like the battle is loosing, and now it's just about softening the landing instead of being vehemently against something the vast majority seems to be engaging in. I refuse to participate myself, but at least hopefully I could help steer some of them in a better (more concise) direction.

Just write a good requirements doc for document creation, including links to good readmes, maybe a style guide for your personal style.. and you can have quality docs with near zero tax. Sure, hand editing each one is even better, but you can get 80% of the way there with zero ongoing investment.
