I routinely put diagrams in my technical documentation. I prefer to
create PDF files (ie: from Visio) and include them with Latex's
includepdf package, or inline with PNG images.
I must say however when I draw diagrams I use yEd, which is incredibly
powerful and auto-formatting. These diagrams can be exported to PDF
and put in Org easily.
Thanks.
