I absolutely agree. I run FreeBSD on my NAS to take advantage of ZFS but every time I update it I have to Google the process or find my notes since it's incredibly non-intuitive.

I have a detailed set of instructions to follow when I'm upgrading my home server, plus notes from each time I've upgraded it.

At this point, I've only got two services (postgresql and mosquitto) which run on bare metal, everything else is in VMs. Once I move those off of FreeBSD the upgrade process will be greatly simplified (well, as simplified as FreeBSD gets anyway).

freebsd-update prints out what you need to do next at each step though. If it wants you to reboot and run it again it says that.

Or you just read the printout until it says fetch first ;)
