I think you're completely right here, but this should be documented
prominently.  So I've installed commit 9549612c53d on emacs-29.

Feel free to tweak, extend, rewrite, or improve it.  It's very brief as
is, but I didn't know what more to say.  Unfortunately, there's not much
need for a lot of documentation when things just work.  ;-)

On a separate note, perhaps this note doesn't need to be on the first
page in Emacs 30.1:

    backend.  Although obsolete, it is still functional.  To learn how
    to use and customize it, *note The legacy Proc backend::.
