Just to help broaden your search for your own note-taking setup, let me add two things.

- You don’t need a title.  
You get a prompt for title, and you can just skip it (how this is done depends on your completion). If a note does not have a title, Org-roam uses the file name to display in place of the title.

- You can have a date and random numbers in the file name  
This is so even if you use capture templates. I do this; my file name is in the format of [yyyy-mm-ddThhmmss.org](http://yyyy-mm-ddThhmmss.org). You can check the default template to see how this kind of things is done with the capture template.

For using the Luhmann style of numbering, I think someone in this forum has posted their method — if I recall correctly, it was manually done via title (e.g. 1, 1a, 1a1, 1a2, etc.) — EDIT: [this post](https://org-roam.discourse.group/t/how-to-match-all-the-words-except-the-first-in-the-unlinked-references-section/2525/3).
