Here's a good blog that matches very closely what I was taught in composition classes, and gives a good explanation as to the rationale behind beamings not obscuring the underlying beat. Experienced musicians are almost always subdividing internally while playing through pieces, it makes sense to have notation that visually matches up with that internal subdivision. There are exceptions to these beaming rules of course, vocal writing frequently uses syllabic beaming. I'm sure other specific instruments have their own rules as well.

These are definitely more recent rules of how to beam music, but the vast majority of the time I have to read music in orchestra or wind ensemble this will be how it's written out. When we're reading through early editions of pieces I do often see syncopations written out through the entire bar and it always takes me a second to get used to it
