Without vetoing any decision: my preference is:
a) No special support for leqno and reqno.
Users can easily specify this in the custom document options.
b) Support both, leqno and reqno. Properly.
With feedback in the GUI and correct LyXHTML export.

I will not veto a half-support (leaving out reqno), but expect a bug
report for full support if half-support ends in 2.3.
Regarding the naming:
A search for "formula number" reveals hits like
Formula: Number of additionals / Article with additional quantity
Excel Formula - Number within range..
The Natural Remedy Bible
FORMULA NUMBER 87: Stinging Nettles Freeze Dried
but also
How do I number my equations? - Apache OpenOffice Wiki
OTOH, searching for "equation number" finds
Equation Numbering in Office 2016
Numbering Equations (Microsoft Word)
Show equation number only once in align environment - TeX - LaTeX
Also, there are 543 results for »"formula number" stackexchange« but
93.900 results for »"equation number" stackexchange«.
In LyX, the menu entry is "numbered formula". OTOH, when tagging the
default prefix is "eq:".
