Indeed. And you are raising another good point: the testability of such architecture is quite poor. Without a way to represent the architecture as runnable and testable code, it is problematic to ensure the correctness and reliability of the system. While documentation helps, it does not provide the same level of assurance as testable code.

That's what I am working on with Objective-S.

https://objective.st/

The idea is that you can express many more kinds of architectures / architectural-styles directly as executable code.

More complicated sure, but adding the ability to mock irrelevant parts and get the whole env up and running locally for dev or test is usually perfectly doable from my experience.
