The good news is that the ~ubuntu3 isn't part of CLANG_VERSION_STRING I think.
Bad news #1 is that it still may not match llvm.org versions: e.g. our internal distribution is "trunk", Apple's CLANG_VERSION_STRING is 10.0.1 on my machine, but it's approximately LLVM version 7.
Bad news #2 is that the documentation isn't actually available for all these versions: none of 14.0.1->14.0.5 exist, the point releases for 9-13 all have documentation but not 8.0.1. Looking at other projects, the set of docs available is inconsistent.

I don't think this substantially more reliable than just pointing at the HEAD docs, and it certainly doesn't seem "better enough" to be worth any build complexity. Can we revert to the simple version?

(I do think changing the URLs of the clang-tidy check documentation was unfortunate, and setting up server-side redirects for those would be nice to have if it's easy)
