Only those reflection targets that are not "visible" from straight forward code. If you have code that accesses the "stringLiteral" field of a class, then it will be auto-registered for you. But if you access it based on user input, then you have to register it manually.

Also, quite a few libraries have metadata now denoting these extra reflection targets.

But nonetheless you are right in general, but depends on your use case.
