Should "Will it open in vanilla emacs / eww without exploding" be a criticism of emacs documentation? There doesn't seem to be a shortage of emacs documentation that's more or less inaccessible from within emacs (of course, that varying depending on one's level of stubborness).

I agree.

I'm trying to train myself to use Emacs internal docs more, but I frequently resort to searches in Firefox. I use Emacs daily, but still don't find their Help format particularly intuitive, though it might help to use it more.

Have you tried Info-index? It's bound to i in info buffers.
