The docs are geared more towards beginner/intermediate users most advanced users go to the API/class docs, and look at the underlying code to get an idea of how things work internally, if you haven't done that then you're definitely not going to know how everything ties together.
Also there's plenty of plugins and an ide_helper package to generate metadata/etc to make it so you get damn good autocompletion in just about any ide and especially phpstorm, but I use vscode and used to use sublime both have great completions...
Seriously?
This is the hill you want to die on?
With swoole (laravel octane) you can up localhost from 200 reqs/sec to 6000+ .. I've tested phoenix and only gotten about 4600.
But just going off "plain laravel"...
According to techempower it STILL beats rails and django.
