Indeed, despite the manual doesn't mention "process substitution":

     The _word_ undergoes tilde expansion, parameter expansion,
     command substitution, arithmetic expansion, and quote

You're quoting an old version of the man page.

I don't believe the man page has ever contained that text.

That's the text from the texinfo manual. The man page has a similar, but
not identical, description. The man page has included process substitution
as one of the expansions for word and pattern ever since it started
enumerating the specific expansions performed.

 OP is
quoting an old Texinfo manual, but even the current devel version
doesn't mention process substitution.  An unintentional omission,
no doubt.

Yes.
