I run a team of about fifteen people and for whatever reason I've never really understood or driven toward legibility. What's the point? For me getting to know and trust each person and to develop an understanding of what they are good at is the key thing I focus on. Good work follows.
Actually knowing minutiae of what they do seems like make work to me.
You and I are in a similar boat. We have the luxury of avoiding "big organisation" problems that mean people need, or want, legibility. And I will do everything I can in my career to keep it that way!
