PFA a rebased version of this patch on top of what has happened since, and changing the pg_upgrade parameter to be --no-scripts.
It seems were are still finding out more nuances about pg_upgrade, but looking at initdb for moment, I think the solution for wrapper scripts is to just run initdb with >dev/null. Or maybe if that looks a bit too hackish, a --quiet option that turns everything on stdout off.
I think initdb has gotten a bit too chatty over time. I think if it printed nothing on stdout by default and the current output would be some kind of verbose or debug mode, we wouldn't really lose much. With that in mind, I'm a bit concerned about adding options (and thus documentation surface area etc.) to select exactly which slice of the chattiness to omit.
