Long ago Sage used to have numbers in the cells, but after a typical session with lots of random insertions of new cells, the numbers can easily get confusing as one is just presented with a random list of numbers. That said, the capability of referring to the output of previous cells via a notation like Out[17] is very handy, and a *lot* of users really like it (Sage doesn't really have that). So a way to easily toggle the numbers on and off like you suggest is probably best.
