Does Google crawl this documentation? I know they have some JS support in their crawler, but is it enough that it would actually index a docsite built with this tool?

Not sure Google would be able to index the docs, since they are in markdown format. But I'm not an expert in how Google index the pages.

No, google doesn't. I've built a similar solution for the Cocos2D documentation that is going to be released soon. I've added a php server component to deliver HTML snapshots to google crawlers for that purpose.
