Jargon is great for consolidating complexity into just a few words, reducing the things you have to think about. It can be equally valuable though to poke into implicit assumptions that are commonly made.

It's definitely a balance, and being inclusive in conversations is super important as you mentioned. It allows newer folks to get up to speed much faster in comparison, and allows more engagement across the people within the discussions.
