Is there any newer architecture diagram of joomla CMS?
I know the https://docs.joomla.org/Archived%3aCMS_Architecture_in_1.5_and_1.6 but it is from 2011 so pretty outdated.
Also is there one zoom-level in more detail about Joomla CMS architecture?

Unfortunately there is nothing like this for Joomla 4 yet. With all the amount of work that's gone into it, there's not a major amount of documentation yet.
You can however use some other resources to help:
That said, as far as I'm aware, I don't believe there are major architecture changes that you need to apply when developing an extension.
You may also want to download a copy of Joomla 4 and sift through some of the core extensions to see how they work.

I see you are a core developer. Is there no easy way to extract from the source packaging the software architecture of joomla? (Comming from Java and here I can easily use a UML reverse engineering tool)– cilapJan 3, 2019 at 10:28

Unfortunately you're asking the wrong person. I was doing UI and Javascript development for Joomla, not the PHP side. Perhaps ask on the Joomla Forum or post a new issue on the Github Issue Tracker– LodderJan 3, 2019 at 10:31

This is a pretty old slide, but maybe it helps as well: joomla.digital-peak.com/images/blog/… or this one joomla.digital-peak.com/images/blog/… Jan 3, 2019 at 11:55
