I can't speak to these docs in particular, but I think documentation regarding type-system in general can be hard to digest. And it probably varies by reader.
E.g., some people find "The Little Typer" [0] to be a wonderful intro to its topic. Personally, I find the writing style impenetrable.

If the documentation turns out to be useless to the majority of readers, then you might be right that it's a sign of under-investment. I'm not sure if that's happening here.
There was a good interview on Corecursive [1] about Idris, so IMHO that's some evidence that some people are serious about the language.
