Are we still talking about :after?  My questions were meant to figure
out whether :after's documentation needs some improvements.

If everything is clear with :after, and we are talking about :demand
and :defer, let's talk about those two.  The text you quote is about
use-package-always-defer, not about :defer, so how is that a
contradiction to whether :defer overrides :demand?
