It may make sense to make it incompatible with "--index" like you
did, but how does this interact with "--cached" or "--3way"? It is
unclear from the above documentation.

I think this should error out, just like one line above does.
"I-t-a" is impossible without having the index, just like "--index"
is impossible without having the index.

OK, with this change, only "index-affecting" mode will call into the
function, in the first place. The current code was wasteful in that
the caller always called and forced this function to do a few useless
computation before it realized that it is not going to touch the index
at all.

It is somewhat unsatisfactory that we need a whole new function to
record a new path in the index. IOW, I have a feeling that a bit of
refactoring of add_index_file() should allow us to share more code
between it and this new function.

It is very unfortunate that you need to do (update_index||set_ita)
everywhere else only bevause you want to do this else/if cascade.
I'd rather redefine the bits to mean
- update-index: we will do something that touches the index
(hence we need to have the repository, we need to lock the
index, etc.).
- ita-only: changes to the existing paths are only reflected to
the working tree, but new paths are added to the index as
i-t-a entries.
and make add_index_file() more intelligent, without having to add a
new add_ita_file().
Of course, setting only ita-only without setting update-index is an
inconsistent state. "--index" would set only update-index, "--ita"
would set both, "--ita --index" would either be an error, or set
only update-index and clear ita-only if we adopt "last one wins"
semantics.
