Not exactly

Reflect.ownKeys does not walk up prototype chain so it does not return 
inherited members
Reflect.enumerate seems not return non-enumerable members
What I propose is an API that returns both non-enumerable and inherited members

Would `Reflect.ownKeys` or `Reflect.enumerate` help you here?

Since class’s members are non-enumerable by default (which is a good choice) we 
cannot use for .. in to iterate over all members of an instance, the same 
problem could exists in a plain object when we use Object.defineProperty API.

In real world there are some scenarios where we need to iterate over members, A 
common example is we need to find all set{SomeThing} methods so we can do an 
auto dependency injection.

Certainly we can write a 3rd-party function to find all members through 
prototype chain:

function getAllMembersKeys(obj) {
    let keys = [];
       
    while (obj) {
        keys.push(...Object.getOwnPropertyNames(obj));
        obj = Object.getPrototypeOf(obj);
    }
       
    return keys;
}

But it doesn’t look nice and lacks considerations of many things such as 
Symbol’d keys.

Look around other languages with reflection API, most of them would provide a 
method to iterate over all members / properties / methods of an instance, so 
why not we provide a set of utility API:

Reflect.getAllMembersNames
Reflect.getAllMemberDescriptors
Reflect.getAllMethodNames
Reflect.getAllMethodDescriptors
Reflect.getAllPropertyNames
Reflect.getAllPropertyDescriptors
