Hi, 

Yes, it's useful! Snowflake is still under development, and it's not
available on Tor Browser stable for all platforms.

It's available on Tor Browser for Windows (Alpha), and on stable for
Linux and macOS.

We have this page: https://snowflake.torproject.org/
And a quick mention on Tor Browser User Manual: https://tb-manual.torproject.org

But I'm planning to work with our new intern to have some entries on
Support portal (https://support.torproject.org).

It will be more advertised when it gets supported by all Tor Browser
stable platforms.
