Dear Shlok,
Thanks for testing the feature!

Just to confirm what you did - you set up a physical replication and the
target of pg_upgrade was set to the primary, right?
I think we can assume that new cluster (target of pg_upgrade) is not used yet.
The documentation describes the usage [1] and it says that we must initialize
the cluster (at step 4) and then run the pg_upgrade (at step 10).
Therefore I don't think we should document anything about it.
