As someone who doesn't use Debian as my only (or even main) OS, but does manage a few Debian servers, I completely disagree on memorable. I can never remember the order of code names and whenever I read something like "stretch or later" I always have to Google to find out if the servers I have qualify or not.
Other than that, I have zero complaints about Debian

I didn't encounter any Debian $codename only compatibility notes. I also don't write $codename only readme files, etc.
