(The absence of such notices doesn't mean a design is good, though. If autocomplete shows lots of people have to search to figure out how to use something, that counts as a notice.)

Exactly! Icons are not the solution always. It must be natural. But to do that you need to know your audience well. A 60-70 year old might have problems without a guideline...

I disagree with this as this is a generic statement. It may work for B2C products, but for B2B products, which require a steeper learning curve, such instructions end up improving UX imo. Your audience should reflect the UX and design.
