Not to detract from your feedback on the documentation, but 'M-x 
treesit-install-language-grammar' even without existing presets these, 
turned out to be very helpful in my experience.

E.g., for c++ I choose 'cpp', answer yes to building manually, paste the 
github repository url when asked, press RET several times, and voila.
