I will be growing my team, promoting existing team members & making new hires. Are promo letters expected/ best practice? And what should this typically detail?

Shouldn’t HR handle this?
Yes you should send promo letters including their new title/level and new salary, with the date effective.

Do what feels best to you. You don't need promo letters if tied to annual reviews. It is good to announce it to the organization and explain what is changing, how it affects others, and why it is happening now. If you are creating a new position or off cycle it would be good to formalize the position with a promo letter and expectations of the role. You now have to baseline the expectation and they might have exceeded expectations as position a, but now at position b they have new standards to meet or maintain.
