I would say most of the industry just "wants to get it done", everyone is really confused, lack of communication, no time to design, customers changing project direction fast. Requirements/design/diagrams are replaced with tasks in Jira because that is "agile"

I would say if it is a new project it's useful to do some UML diagrams to get through discussions. But after the first milestones it is impossible to keep diagrams updated in sync with code, they normally just get left behind

For the reasons above anything with arrows works, it does not need to be UML, but it is a useful to know, making diagrams that present all in a useful way is hard and all knowledge and thinking is welcome

My current company we just have a designer doing/updating wireframe/mockups after meeting which then we discuss
