It's not a matter of exaggeration, it's how the mechanic actually works. It grants 8k experience every 3 days, and THEN the pawn's passion or lack thereof applies its multiplier. Saying the actual experience value granted is the standard on the wiki. Between assuming the reader knows the correct mechanic or misunderstands the mechanics in that specific way, the wiki HAS to assume the former. We can then mitigate the latter by specifying that its listing pre-passion multiplier values. Doing otherwise is wrong and confuses people that actually do know the mechanics, especially when you change the values to post passion values while still keeping the "pre-passion" disclaimer.

Meanwhile, it's not even correct in practice because there are ways to affect passions and still use the vats. Players might have yttakin as you mention, or custom xenotypes, or only keep pawns on the growth vats for part of their childhood, or hell, even want to know how the vanilla mechanics work to better understand their mods. Mixing the value types given with the 3-daily value as pre-passions and the full time as post is also a non-starter for obvious reasons.

Now if you want to add more language to clarify, please go for it, but changing the base experience goes against the standard for a reason, especially when you make it explicitly wrong by leaving the section saying it's the pre-passion multiplier value.
