Personally, if I am skimming a change log that is already limited in characters, I don’t care about ‘XYZ-999999’ in the main commit message. It’s good to tag as a trailer but I’d much rather see what the commit did than the Jira issue it came from.

It's totally fine to put the issue number somewhere at the end of the commit message, and not in line 1.

Most tools cross-link them as long as #<issue-id> is mentioned anywhere in the message. It's also useful the other way around, open an issue and see all associated commits.

Yeah the ticket value falls off pretty quickly to me. If I pull that up and it's been a closed issue for years and code has been added, rewritten, people moved, and tons of other changes to where the ticket is just a historical artifact and doesn't need priority in the first line of the commit message.
