This is bad UX because it hides the useful packages (i.e. nix) among all the irrelevant stuff. The vast majority of these should be removed: the tests, the cross builds (probably), all the *Stdenv stuff, dockerImage and changelog-d.

Probably the only ones that should be in there are default, nix and nix-static.

Would it be okay to create a new output attrset for the cross compiled packages, for example?
The tests I think can live under the checks output, I guess.

This relates to the "recipes vs CI test points" thing we were discussing the other day. The idioms flakes are intended to promote are far from clear. The proper downstream usage is also not clear.
