I am struggling to think of something that would be both hyped (therefore, popular, and widely used), and at the same time poorly documented. React has a fantastic documentation, but React is hardly bleeding edge anymore. Webpack used to be bad with documentation, but has dramatically improved in the recent couple of years. Vue is said to have documentation that is on par with React’s. Perhaps for RxJS documentation is still a pain point, but other than that... can't really say I have been burnt by documentation.

Yeah, webpack was definitely the worst offender I remember. How many days were lost in trying to get it to behave... sigh.
I prefer not to be on the bleeding edge of stuff, especially not in the JS world - got bitten too often by incomplete, missing or flat out wrong official documentation, horrenduous bugs, incompatibilities and sudden breaking changes all over the place.
Side note to all shiny tool vendors out there, if you want people to try out your stuff, provide usable documentation and don't force your users to copy-and-paste from StackOverflow...
