So would adding the `systemProperty` javadoc taglet here be necessary? I think this won't end up being listed in the system properties index generated by the javadoc tool and I think this line here will just get rendered literally.

You are right indeed. I just checked the generated system properties index and it does list these properties and even links back to this document. In fact, I even found a mail which clearly states that this processing of `@systemProperties` is supported for `doc-files` https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2018-November/056653.html
