I’m not sure of the user interface for this block as it does not seem to serve any purpose over just using a paragraph block. It appears you still need to enclose the shortcode in square brackets, just as you would with a paragraph block.

Is there any user documentation for this block?

Basically shortcodes are going to be replaced by blocks, that is why there is no extra functionality for them.

Advantages for block:-

As Gutenberg work on reactjs so the changes are being reflected in the same page which is more effective than short code.
You can provide more option for blocks in front end.
For Shortcode you need to cretae a setting page for it.
