This is great, and I think if it was fully adopted initially in greenfield, this would be a completely feasible solution. My question is though, these problems exist at large organizations and will be seen as "another tool to rule them all" synonymous with things like "sharepoint". Disclaimer: I'm not saying that backstage is anyway comparable to sharepoint except that it presents itself as this grandiose solution to all things on boarding and learning on your own.

With that said, what's the low hanging fruit to entice adoption of backstage into an organization that already has a "process" like mentioned in the article of whiteboard meetings with stakeholders. Obviously that's not a great use of time, but it's also no extra learning or work, that SME can talk about their function without any preparation and can interactively answer any questions the learner asks at the time.

That doesn't scale in practice, but it also doesn't require any more whole team buy in
