I'm not sure how much it's about being on the search for something more flexible, the jsonnet approach would definitely be more flexible but I also see it being more error prone and can easily get out of sync as users would need to update those themselves separate from an Alertmanager update.
I think this is primarily because we can't take on the additional maintenance burden, therefore we chose to support only the major providers out of the box, and additional support needs to be added through a webhook integration.
My 2 cents, but happy to hear what others have to say.

Wonder if the best action is just to remove this section of the documentation. What do you think?

I'd leave it given the frequency of requests, but remove the "as we try to figure out something more flexible. For the time being,"

There are several PRs to add new notifiers on AlertManager, and usually, the team will answer that webhooks should be used for now, while a more flexible solution is planned. This PR updates the doc to reflect this opinion.
