Is the next step creating and updating these diagrams automatically? That dream seems to come up and die in cycles over the years, but it may be possible now depending on the compute platform and network appliances you use. This push to automate by doing interesting things, like reading your network traffic (https://www.akitasoftware.com/), could work here.

I'm unsure, as is, how you fix the organizational and human problem: It takes effort to initially create these diagrams, and constant work to keep them updated as systems evolve. How do you make that easier? A more fancy diagram explorer seems... not as useful.
