since we are currently using the https://developer.gnome.org/NetworkManager/stable/manpages.html for NM documentation, which manual pages should I add the related documentation ? nm-settings-dbus, or nm-settings-nmcli, or nm-settings-ifcfg-rh ?

all of them. These manual pages describe different aspects of the setting, and the setting is present in all three forms.

That is, you can configure TC settings via nmcli, dbus, ifcfg-rh and keyfile. And -- due to their nature -- the way how this is expressed in detail is not the same and requires (slightly different) documentation.
