Okay, I don't really understand the issue being discussed in the thread, but if num:nil gives me an unnumbered table of contents after HTML export, I'm good. I also export to LaTeX, but I recognize that there are issues with LaTeX table of contents and I just work around them.

I need to sit down and read the Org manual. For years, I've been using toc:t and getting more in the table of contents than I wanted. Discovering that I can use something like toc:1 was exactly what I needed a long time ago. I know there are other things in Org that I want now and just don't know about. There are disadvantages to my haphazard approach to Org.
