I think you’re nuts :) I find them super helpful for refreshing when I need to see the flow for protocol exchanges like SIP, FTP, TLS.

I don’t know how else you would model that. Words don’t communicate deeply enough.

I'm thinking more about business processes rather than protocols. I don't think most project involve devising new protocols. If I want to diagram the steps involved in, say, onboarding and nurturing a user, then the flow will rapidly approach a cyclic, undirected graph.
