You're not far off of how we work. TODOs end up in two categories: minor things I need to do before a commit, and major things that require some huge chunk of code to be [re]written but maybe aren't "features" and don't need official documentation. We see the latter more often in new products and not in mature codebases.
(Then there are the orphan TODOs - such as one strange ??TODO?? in some code I inherited that has no good documentation (just a vague reference to another class) but looks too important to remove. One of these days it's getting deleted.)
