Hypothesis: the moment a team adds the requirement that each PR/commit should be related to a Jira issue, it will start accumulating even more tech debt than before.

This requirement adds a penalty for making small, unrelated improvements that get the project in a better shape.

@mfowler absolutely agree. I love throwing the ticket # in as an aside when it can point to context, but most tech debt cleanup doesn’t have context and adding tickets just creates friction. PR requirements can possibly create the same friction.
