Alert Management Rule - Remediation Workflow

I'd like to configure an Alert Management Rule with a Workflow (not a Flow) for remediation purposes.

I'm not able to figure out how this is intended to be used though, and I also can't find any documentation on it. Is anyone able to assist/point me towards doco?

When browsing (magnifying glass), no existing Workflows show up, and the URL seems to indicate that it is looking for workflows specific to the em_alert_man_m2m_rule_workflow table (which is empty).

How do you go about creating a Workflow that is then selectable as a Remediation Workflow in an Alert Management Rule?

You can select "New" which enables you to create a Workflow, but when selecting what I would assume to be the table (em_alert), this results in a Workflow that's not then selectable back in the Alert Management Rule.

Workflow must be created against the em_remediation_task table.

Event ----Alert-----> Incident

Incident is created by Alert Management Rule which Calls flow 

I think you can call remediation also after Incident Creation

To the best of my knowledge, there are no plans to deprecate Workflows altogether as they are so embedded in the product.

On Alert Management Rules, the functionality is being exposed to execute a Workflow, which--for what I'm trying to achieve--would work far better than a Flow and take me half the time to configure. So I'd really like to know how to make that work. It looks broken to me, but I'm not sure why.
