Yep. I agree. Acronyms are just a bit more cognitive load when reading a doc. Using an acronym when you're talking to someone in your direct team or who works directly with you, that's fine imo. If you and I are working on service Aaaaaa Bbbbbbb Cccccc then it's fine for us to both call it ABC since it's been directly referenced.
But when reading a doc, you need to know who the audience is and what the purpose of the doc is. I can't think of an audience or purpose though where using acronyms without being fully written out on the first use is beneficial. Using an acronym without stating what that acroynm is is just gibberish.
