FWIW, Icicles has long provided this, just by using *Completions*
for the completions and *Help* for the current-completion doc.
You can of course use separate frames for these. There is also an
option that moves the *Completions* frame to the display edge when
you request candidate help or you act otherwise on a candidate.
Users control when/if candidate help is displayed (by key).
It is not just thrown in their face systematically.
Here is a screenshot of one possible layout:

FWIW, I also consider it a plus, not a minus, that the window-mgr
"decorations" are present. Users can move the frames, iconify
them, shrink/enlarge them - do whatever they want with them,
including in some cases on the fly, by key.
They are ordinary Emacs frames, not just hard-coded popups
that exhibit only some developer's idea of the best behavior.
And you'll notice that the *Completions* mode line is made use
of; it provides brief help on the current candidate even when
*Help* is not shown.
I do agree that things like a menu-bar are best removed, by
default (as shown). But users can always add them, if they
prefer.
