Aha, yes, pty_max_bytes was removed later after going unused for some time:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=3d082a269ece18058ed82957f8a056822b39789e

IIUC, there might be a good case for bringing it back, with respect to
Bug#6149 and Bug#32438.  At least so that we can warn users (or
prevent them from) overflowing a pty input queue.

For the doc issue, I've opened Bug#33191.
