gtk-doc-tools usually needs to stay in Build-Depends for Autotools-based
packages, because it is required at autoreconf time.

For Meson-based packages it might be OK to move it to B-D-I - I haven't
tried that yet - but gnome-panel is still using Autotools at the moment.

You're right that actually *enabling* gtk-doc in architecture-specific
builds is unnecessary, and I think just changing the dh_auto_configure
arguments (without changing the B-D/B-D-I) would be sufficient to have
the effect you're looking for here?
