What article on segment.com/docs is affected?

https://segment.com/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/actions-google-analytics-4/#custom-event

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

The GA4 documentation (as well as other new Actions destinations) is missing the important setup instructions to remove the destination's SDK once Segment is collecting data :

When you enable the Google Universal Analytics destination in Segment:
Your changes appear in the Segment CDN in about 45 minutes, and then Analytics.js starts asynchronously loading Google Universal Analytics javascript library on your web page. This means you should remove Google’s snippet from your page.
Your Google Universal Analytics real-time dashboard starts showing live, concurrent visitors.
Google Universal Analytics starts automatically collecting data on your site. It takes several hours for Google to process this data and add it to your reports, but you should still see events appear in the Google Universal Analytics real-time events dashboard.
