[error] The installed version of the /Entity Usage/ module is too old to update.

Needs review from others to see if an alternative approach to documentation (example, the modules description, might be more suitable).

Thanks for filing this.

In -beta18 we did clean up old hook implementations, the most recent one that was removed was a hook introduced in -beta9, so quite old...
Anyone using a version earlier than -beta9 will indeed need to upgrade to -beta17 first, and then bump to >= -beta18 in a subsequent deployment.

(That's why it's important to try to be relatively up-to-date with latest versions... )

In any case, it's true the release notes could indicate this, so I have just edited -beta18 release notes to include this:

Upgrading from older releases

In this release we remove old hook implementations from entity_usage.install, in order to simplify maintenance. If you are using a version older than 8.x-2.0-beta9, then you should update to 8.x-2.0-beta17 first, and then in a subsequent deployment update to this (or any release older than -beta18).

Thanks!
