Could we get away with adding everything from this point on to the observability.md and call it a day? This accurately describes our existing telemetry expectations.

Decided to try @TylerHelmuth's suggestion of moving the details of the current state of telemetry into observability.md instead of creating a separate doc. Since it's just documenting what's already there, i think that makes more sense.
