You could try hitting the feedback button on the bottom right of any documentation page. Then ask that more information on the best practice or a link to it be added and include your email address.
those notes go to the owner of that documentation. I've had good luck in getting documents updated and email responses from that option.

I found it interesting that Juniper says best practice but nothing to back that up, I didnt want to deploy in an un-recomended way.
Thanks for your input!

To be honest, I don't know where the 'recommended practice' of the document in regards to configure addressing in lo0.0
is coming from. In the context of simplifying configurations, apply-groups
are an excellent tool, since it allows you to easily generalize configuration and inherit it for different configuration hierarchies. The usefulness of this feature is there, whether you want to use it under lo0 and/or other parts, is really up to you.

New to Juniper and understand configuration groups concept, but cannot figure out why its considered best practice to configure the loopback interface in a configuration group, according to what the following page states. Can anyone explain why this would be or point me to further documentation?
"Optionally, instead of configuring the loopback interface at the [edit interfaces]
hierarchy level, you can use a configuration group, as shown in this procedure. This is a recommended best practice for configuring the loopback interface. This procedure uses a group called global
as an example."
