Should repro steps be numbered in Jira?

Yes. Numbered steps are easier to follow and convert cleanly to Jira wiki ordered lists.

Can I include console errors in a Jira bug report?

Yes. Put short console identifiers in inline code so Jira renders them clearly, and link to longer logs or recordings as evidence.
