Figures and tables are numbered in our documentation.

No one is hired here who doesn't do that. Ever.

<<Does ANYONE here support omitting table and/or figure numbers>>

Nope.

<<I'm sure some folks feel strongly about having them, but how much of that
is habit/convention versus readability.>>

Numbering figures and tables has become both habit and convention because
it's been proven to be so darned useful... that's after (say) 300 years of
experience with producing printed publications, during which time nobody has
come up with a significant improvement on this approach.
