That is interesting because writing documentation and onboarding users is something people without coding skills can do and for me it (still) feels like I need to know how to code to help with projects. Nice.

You should absolutely know the basics if you're going to help write documentation but you certainly don't need to be a veteran. I am a pretty mediocre programmer but I help FOSS projects with documentation all the time.
