I always assume "docudrama" means that artistic license is going to be taken in the name of good story-telling. That in and of itself doesn't lessen my opinion of it--I enjoy a good story based on real events. It does, however, take it out of the realm of "Documentary" for me and into the realm of fiction (personally). Much like historical fiction is still fiction and not really History. Not inherently a lesser endeavor ... just a different one.
