Fair. I find writing a useful exercise even if no one ever reads it (although processes should enforce someone reads it; like a PR). Calling a meeting anyway is great! You have a document to reference to guide the meeting, answer questions, and scribe discussions/decisions! If your worst case scenario is that your technical document becomes a glorified meeting agenda, that's not so bad. Also remember that documents live ~forever, so even if you get no immediate response: write for your replacement 5 years from now who has to figure out wtf you were thinking. :)
