Not really.  If you are trying to remedy ...

... this kind of thing, I do not think that a solution that is the
best for readers is not this:

that requires them to go down and read what --indexed-objects (for
example) means in the documentation for "git pack-objects" command,
and piece together what they mean when they are used together.

Yes, "all objects except unreachable ones", which you came up with,
is a good description, I would think.
