When you consider "my problem is solved this time" as documentation then a discord discussion can be considered good documentation. But If you want documentation as reference for everyone and don't wan't to repeat process/procedures every time some one needs it. It's the worst platform for it. And For documentation we never want the first.

In this context email lists were the best of the best documentation ever.

I support people to use any possible tool in their creation process.

This is not very different than using newer electric tools in cooking vs using the older/habitual techniques. Some may prefer the former, some later. The taste could be different pallet to pallet, or the subtle chemical reactions could cause different outcomes for different foods.

If the food is tasty, fulfilling and suitable for my pallet what would differ if chopped with a knife or with a blender?

You can prefer one to the other and who have any right to say no? Just don't forget same applies both ways.

I hate video links. The information could have been a few paragraphs of text that I could glance. Instead this much minutes of video that you can't search, glance over, read while listening to something else.. So it's a pass for me.

First, persistency. You data lifecycle may not be directly proportional to your applications lifecycle. You may need it even after the app is shut down.

Second, RDBM systems provide a well defined memory/storage structure and API - "structured query language". This enables you to easily query your data and acquire suitable views that are beneficial for your applications purposes.

Third, It's always better to outsource your data layer to a battle tested, and trustworty database then trying to reinvent the wheel.

So this paves a road for you to focus on your business logic than splitting that focus for the data layer and business logic.
