I'm asking to provide some documentation to the users yes.

It can be in doc you pointed above with a link from the prog guide:
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/mempool_lib.html#mempool-handlers

And because it is solving issues in some use cases,
it needs to be called out why and when use these options.
