However people don't tend to make good diagrams, unless they're very restrictive. I find that sequence diagrams are usually the ones with the best quality out there because you have to adhere to a strict (and rather simple) représentation.

For things that are not flows-like I would recommend using the C4 Model https://c4model.com/ :

- It provides a simple and constrained way to describe systems and their interactions.

- The first two levels are the most useful IMO as they provide a lot of information, while being rather static over time. Level 3 and 4 typically require frequent changes as your code evolves.
