Our take

Miro is excellent for workshops and brainstorming, and not designed for formal process modeling. We see teams use Miro to capture initial ideas in a workshop, then move to a proper BPMN tool for the actual modeling. For maintained process documentation, a dedicated modeling tool is usually a better fit.
