Are there any settings or plugins which use the 1.6 numbered list format? I use numbered lists to record book chapter numbers so I don’t need the entire list ordered, but the 1.8 update messes up my entire workflow. I like it when numbered lists are just fancier bullet points where they can continue off the previous number, but changeable if needed.
Currently I’m just using a downgraded version but it’d be really useful if there was a fix or setting for 1.6 numbered list.

No setting.
I think 1.7.7 was fine too.
You need to wait till it gets fixed in 1.8.5. No ETAs but should be in a couple of days max.

In the meantime users can add \
in front of the dot or bracket but I don’t recommend it.

Better to weather the storm.
But – this trick is needed sometimes when we want to stop incrementing.
Right now, there is a big bug that will be solved in 1.8.5 and also a couple of FR that you may be interested in.
Steps to reproduce
1. a
2. b
3. c
# Header
1. d
2. e
3. f
4. g
Then in line 3. c, go tab (to indent), then shift+tab (to outdent)
The second list (below the header) will change its numbering, starting with 4
This persists in different scenarios, see the video below (the forum here prevents me from uploading it directly, for some reason):

Expected result
Numbering stays separate
Actual result
1. a
2. b
3. c
# Header
4. d
5. e
6. f

When entering a new line in a numbered list a new list item is created. The new item number will be one larger than the previous. When this is done in the middle of a list this will cause the following list items to have the wrong numbering since their numbering is not automatically updated.
Add an option to disable the incrementation of new items, i.e. if I enter a new line after item 1 the new item will also be numbered as 1. This will make it easier to edit lists as the user doesn’t have to …
Steps to reproduce
Type:
10. <any content>
Once any content is added to the numbered list item, it’ll change to 1.
