Though, if the goal is communication, wouldn't it be clearer still to use typedefs to clean up more complex declarations a bit? Or does that end up making things worse?

People do that if such a type is used a lot but probably not if it's just a one-off, just like when they write a function instead of using the same snippet a lot but don't if it isn't.
