Perhaps that would be all right ...

... but I can't see this approach scaling to three or four or five
outputs. The line would get unreasonably long.
My own proposal given the way it works now is to just print
max_connections and not mention autovacuum_worker_slots at all.
Our choice for max_connections is worth reporting, but I don't
feel that everything derived from it needs to be reported.
