Do you say you communicated with customers/coworkers via sketcher comments?
Even GD&T in 3D was a fail when it should have been used it in the '90s and was dismissed for somewhere in the future.

Written documentation on a drawing makes more sense, as it reaches the guys running the machines who don't have access to electronic data.

And if you are worried about spreading you intellectual property it is even better to keep model and drawing data separated from the documentation about how and why you achieved your solutions.

After having gained at least an experience of > 0 8-) , the pros overweigh the cons IMO.

An actual use of course would depend on the nature of the model and the users way of thinking and proceeding. Please do'nt forget about the beginners, if one wants to further FC among them.
