Architecture diagrams enable better conversations
A few more ASCII-based tool that you could add into your workflow are https://arthursonzogni.com/Diagon/#Sequence which can be used to generate the ASCII that you input into something like Typogram (https://google.github.io/typograms/).
For example, input:
Renderer -> Browser: BeginNavigation()

Vim for presentation?
Doing presentations directly in vim is kinda insane, but if you are insane, I have the tool for you here.

Pikchr: A PIC-like markup language for diagrams in technical documentation
While not embedded in markdown, I like d2 [1]. I can use it with org-babel to embed and view the diagrams on emacs. After using graphviz for years, the visual output seems more polished to me. With that said, I want to give pikchr a try.

Nomnoml
That site is created by the maintainers of D2[1], so it might be biased, but I still think D2 has the friendliest syntax of the bunch, including nomnoml.

Architecture diagrams enable better conversations
I've been using https://structurizr.com/ to automatically generate C4 diagrams from a model (rather than drawing them by hand). It works well with the approach for written documentation as proposed in https://arc42.org/. It's very easy to embed a C4 diagram into a markdown document.
The result is a set of documents and diagrams under version control that can be rendered using the structurizr documentation server (for interactive diagrams and indexed search).
I also use https://d2lang.com/ for declarative diagrams in addition to C4, e.g., sequence diagrams and https://adr.github.io/ for architectural decision records. These are also well integrated into structurizr.
