Does Storyboard have any plans to provide any standard views that are consistent across projects? Or is it focused solely on the "in club" who know what dashboard views are custom to each project?

I'm not sure what sort of project-specific documentation we think we
need.

Each project team can set up its own board or worklist for a given
series. The "documentation" just needs to point to that thing, right?

Each team may also decide to use a set of tags, and those would need to
be documented, but that's no different from launchpad.

Why? If we have a large number of projects who agree to use the tool a
certain way, that seems good, regardless of whether any specific teams
are included in the group. Let the outliers document their processes, if
they end up being significantly different.
