Maybe I should read the book again making notes like the author did. I finished it understanding how novel this would have been when it was released and impressed with how much worldbuilding was fit into a relatively short book, but ultimately pretty disappointed by the plot itself. Without giving away too much, I feel that there were a few segments that fell pretty flat for me (to be specific, with minor spoilers: the new recruit around the middle of the book and the hacking subplot towards the end).

As much as I understand that checked exceptions (the general term for the 'throws' feature) can lead to a bit of a maintenance nightmare and doesn't necessarily scale well with deeper call stacks, I have found python documentation extremely lacking in this area too.

I think what I've come to understand is that you can treat errors you don't know about as non-recoverable, because that's most likely what they are anyway if they aren't readily documented. Let them bubble up basically, and handle them at the top level if necessary to prevent crashes in prod/make sure they are logged correctly and so on.
