Any system, however complex, can be designed as a bunch of "I/O devices" with abstraction layers. The trick is to keep each abstraction layer simple enough so that you can hold it in your mind (or fit a piece of paper). With this approach any kind of visualisations tool would work just fine - from a piece of paper to tools like Ilograph. I personally prefer excalidraw.

The "hold it in your mind" test is my gold standard. Certain minds can hold more or less at once, but we're talking about a narrow range. The issue with modeling from any specific detail-specifying system is that the result is invariably outside that range, for some systems. Model to a brain target, not a standard level of detail.
