I haven't verified the details, but I believe the short answer to your question is "yes."
What one would need to do is to find where packages such as `cl-alexandria-sbcl` write their compiled code and add that location to the exceptions to output translations. See [the asdf manual](https://asdf.common-lisp.dev/asdf.html#Controlling-where-ASDF-saves-compiled-files), and particularly look at the definition of the configuration DSL. This may require the user to appropriately employ `:inherit-configuration` in any user-specific configuration they do, but in general it's not a good idea to `:ignore-inherited-configuration` unless you have a very good reason.
