I think it's useful. There's also netstat(1)' -R but that just dumps
everything without indication where the current process is.

Perhaps put this under the -T rtable description? There you'll spot it
earlier and every route command suports [-T rtable].

I don't think this is warranted.

rtable(4) has a bunch of examples but also lacks id -R and is not
referenced where one might find it useful:
$ man -k xr~'^(rdomain|rtable)'
pair(4) - virtual Ethernet interface pair
route(4) - kernel packet forwarding database
wg(4) - WireGuard pseudo-device
bgpd.conf(5) - Border Gateway Protocol daemon configuration file
sshd_config(5) - OpenSSH daemon configuration file
ifconfig(8) - configure network interface parameters
route, rt_setgate, rtdeletemsg, rtredirect(9) - kernel routing interface
rtalloc, rtalloc_mpath, rtfree, rtisvalid, rtref(9) - routing entry
interface
So instead maybe point at rtable(4) from here (and show id -R there)?
