I think it's fine & actually your responsibility to raise the issue if the lack of bus reqs adversely affects your job or your ability to produce documentation. Not sure if that's the case here.
As I understand it - you're not even working on the legacy app. If you think there is a need for documentation for that product & anticipate problems if your org doesn't include docs - then I'd recommend bringing that to everyone's attention. But if you're not working on the product & not protesting that - then pushing for bus reqs may seem a bit presumptuous.
