My bleed is also removed:
The margins at the pasteboard options are also removed:
Yet there is lots of extra spacing left:
Is this due to some specific page setup for the jacket?
So my extra distance (and only to the right) of my pasteboard is 1 + 2 .

Because the spine is at the right of your left pages.

There is no pasteboard on your screenshot. And the bleed and the slug area is something different.
I have a pasteboard (210mm, 25mm) in my example:
However, I do not understand in what the pasteboard disturbs you? I'm now doing InDesign since version 1, and I never touched the pasteboard until now. https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/pages-spreads.html
In the final design, the pasteboard is non-existent, when exporting. The slug area and especially the bleed area may well be needed.

The area marked with the big rectangle on my third image IS the pasteboard.
The pasteboard is useless space while creating, so I don't want it.
I work on a 12.5 inch HD laptop, which suits my eyes cause I (still) have good eyes, and I am on the road, so I don't want to carry a bigger laptop. So i need to spare my space on the screen.
But the main reason why I don't want the pasteboard is that I am resizing the document window to the physical size of my document, because if you do that, you can navigate just by clicking on the pages in the pages tab, while having a perfect physical size view (and no bloat, no extra space, no pasteboard), without scrolling or panning while creating the document, because InDesign it seems it's made smartly so that it will scroll the spread to the max right when clicking to the right page on the spread, and to the max left when clicking on the left (facing pages).
I know that sometimes you need a bit of a pasteboard to paste stuff that you don't want to paste into the pages directly, but for that I can use the pasteboard areas in between the pages, vertically.
I am already set up with the setup mentioned above for my document pages document.
Now I need to set it up for my jacket document.

I reduced the pasteboard to 0 and it worked:
A pasteboard of 25mm:

Maybe that I understand the problem:
My second page uses a different page size, and the pasteboard seems to adapt to the biggest page in the document.
And a different situation:
You see the pattern, and I think there is no "solution" to this, that can be set with a parameter. At least not to my knowledge.

I see, but my pages except my spine are all the same size:

The small rectangle is not the pasteboard, it only illustrates whoch part of the pages is shown on the pasteboard.

But look at this:
Why does it work for my pages document, without any pasteboard?
No matter you scroll left or right (or click right page or left page on the pages panel), there is no pasteboard left in the document window, horizontally.

Spine to the left of my right page:

You don't have your windows undocked, like I do.
Undock your document windows.
Without undocking them you cannot resize the document window.
I am resizing them to the physical size of my document.

Ah, figured it out, now the issue is gone:
Needed to rearrange my jacket pages in the pages tab:

You basically fixed what @Abambo was trying to tell you. You had all your pages to the left of the spine, so InDesign made the same space available to the right of the spine. At some point, you must have turned off Allow Document Pages to Shuffle.

No, it’s the Layout Window background, which is not the same as the Pasteboard:
