Mostly, I agree. 

There is no need to OVER-complicate things. 

It really just comes down to whether https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/docs 
<https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/docs> should be a group or simply a project. 

If it is a project…

Easy to find
Easy to pull everything
Not complicated at all
May want to break up into separate projects later 
Would require migrating contributors to the new projects
Would require converting local copies to the new projects
It will be difficult to easily look back at the history of changes.

If it is a group…

Can clone only the part you want to work on (like how-to or books).
Contributors can be given specific privileges at the group level or individual 
project.
Group level privileges can be elevated in an specific sub-project.
Easier to review, merge or reject changes in specific sub-projects.

Honestly though, it doesn’t matter to me which way it is setup at the start.  
But, it is probably simplest and easiest to just set it up as a single project 
and worry about the rest later if/when that kind of stuff every comes up. After 
all, it is not like we are expecting to be flooded with hundreds of 
contributors wanting to update the documentation on day one.
