Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I come from the world of classic React web-apps. I've been building an Ionic app for the 1st time during the last 4 weeks. And I was ***really frustrated*** to have A TON of issues with components not re-rendering when expected and Ionic lifecycle hooks not working as expected as well.
Gave Me lots of headache.

https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/issues/23388

**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like a clear and explicit explanation on when does Ionic re-render components, view, tabs, etc.
For now, the React Lifecycle page is very generic to say the least; is [incomplete](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-docs/issues/1949) and doesn't describe edge cases.
