do you feel like more than one set is needed?

No. The release notes are for the end user.

There should be a separate changelog for technical users. This documents changes to the software including things that are invisible to users. For example, adding some unit tests wouldn't be in the release notes but it would be in the changelog.

Stakeholder comms is an entirely separate, but equally as important, thing. That should include information about impact the release is expected to have, what dependencies it impacts, and who gets the credit for work in the release.
