The section you found in the manual and the value of
org-special-properties would seem the logical places to look for such a
complete list.
However, there are some discrepancies in the two. There seem to be some
"very special" properties that are mentioned in the doc but not in the
variable.

I think so: LEVEL is mentioned in neither place, although it is
mentioned in sec. 10.3.3, "Matching tags and properties, which I presume
is where you found it. It should probably be added to sec. 7.2, and
maybe added to org-special-properties.
Here's my census of special properties from these three places:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Special properties
| Name | doc sec. 7.2 | org-special-properties | other places |
|--------------+--------------+------------------------+------------------|
| ID | yes | no | |
| TODO | yes | yes | yes (sec 10.3.3) |
| TAGS | yes | yes | |
| ALLTAGS | yes | yes | |
| CATEGORY | yes | no | yes (sec 10.3.3) |
| PRIORITY | yes | yes | yes (sec 10.3.3) |
| DEADLINE | yes | yes | yes (sec 10.3.3) |
| SCHEDULED | yes | yes | yes (sec 10.3.3) |
| CLOSED | yes | yes | |
| TIMESTAMP | yes | yes | |
| TIMESTAMP_IA | yes | yes | |
| CLOCKSUM | yes | yes | |
| CLOCKSUM_T | yes | yes | |
| BLOCKED | yes | yes | |
| ITEM | yes | no | yes (sec 10.3.3) |
| FILE | yes | yes | |
| LEVEL | no | no | yes (sec 10.3.3) |
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Are there others? Should org-special-properties include them all?
