add_filter('acf/load_value/name=post_object_repeater', 'prepopulate_post_object_with_all_posts', 20, 3);
function prepopulate_post_object_with_all_posts($value, $post_id, $field) {
  if (!empty($value)) {
    // already has a value, do not overwrite
    return $value;
  }
  
  // do a query to get all posts of the post type
  $args = array(
    'post_type' => 'add-ons', // your post type
    'posts_per_page' => -1, // -1 get all
    'fields' => 'ids', // return only list of IDs
  );
  $query = new WP_Query($args);
  if (empty($query->posts)) {
    // no posts found
    return $value;
  }
  
  $value = $query->posts;
    
  return $value;
