I mostly agree with the 'waste of time' except... I did work one place where it was expected that you'd update docs/wikis/etc, and that was part of the deliverable. It wasn't perfect, and there was always some stuff that was out of date, but when you found something out of date, you were expected to confirm it and update the doc as 'out of date' - ideally link to the updated page if it was possible. This was not a perfect system - nothing is - but the culture of the group just baked this behavior in to the timeline for 'done'. When the majority of people had that expectation, it seemed to work decently. In 25 years of professional work, that's the only place I can remember seeing it done that disciplined. And... they were only around 100 folks total - not sure it could necessarily scale as they grew.
