From my own personal experience, using Marvel's A to Z in Marvel Comic Series is an essential guide in determining issue and volume numbering, since I use it regularly when reading Marvel Unlimited comics online.

Yes, and the website also gives me at a single glance how many volumes a given title has.

There's more than that, because those nine don't include anything not actually called Captain America.

Gets tricky with the two book thing. I don’t believe the Cap&Falcon series somewhere around 2002-2004 just prior to Brubaker’s run is counted. Not sure if the team up books were counted either, right after Brubaker’s BuckyCap Gulag.(always thought that run should’ve been renamed Tales of Suspense).
The Stevil and SamCap books convoluted things as well. I’ve come to live with the reality of renumbering, as painful as it has been for me, so with the Legacy numbering added ... well felt like a small victory. And I don’t believe it’s the first time done either.
What is nice to see and more important to me is how each author’s run acknowledges the previous one. That is so reassuring. Coates does a nice job of working off Spencer, however I’d say Brubaker had to almost reinvent Cap after volume 4 ended. And the transition from Waid and Jurgens was pretty jarring indeed. As such volume 4 almost stands as an outlier.
Remender launched the series in a completely different direction than Brubaker but had some elements that were consistent... that mainly being Sharon and Steve. And since Rick’s run immediately preceded Hickman’s Secret Wars, well the continuity just fell apart for me afterwards. All that was left was senior citizen Steve, and what continues to be old Sharon.
It’s been a jarring few years since Brubaker steered the ship ... what, almost 10 years or so. I still miss the Shadow Council, Max Fury and John Steele, and Cap’s Secret Avengers. Still, there’s been enough overlapping continuity to keep me coming back for more.
For me, Marvel’s strength lies in their continuity. Jumping on points are well and good I’m sure but in the years to come probably won’t add to the “legacy” of Marvel.

https://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/West_Coast_Avengers_Vol_1 - four issue mini-series.
https://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/West_Coast_Avengers_Vol_2 - ongoing starts with a new #1
https://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Avengers_West_Coast_Vol_1 - not sure why this one issue (#48) is it's own volume?
https://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Avengers_West_Coast_Vol_2 - the name is altered to start with the word Avengers. Series ends at issue 102.
They sure did. Cap's official legacy numbering ignores Hydra Cap and includes Sam's 30 issues, which personally I think should've been added to the four issue mini Sam had had a couple of decades earlier, forming Falcon's legacy numbering (that book started with #1 instead, but if it was still running now, I think the SamCap issues would've ended up counted twice).

I think the Secret Wars:Amazing Spider-Man:Renew your Vows limited series was counted to reach the current numbering of the Legacy Numbering because that limited series replaced Amazing Spider-Man while it was being published.Thats why that was the only Limited series counted in the Amazing Spider-Man Legacy Numbering.
The Spoliers are easily avoided just by not reading the story descriptions,in the Marvel website is easy to find just the covers and years the comics were published.
The original numbering is great to me because this way i know which is the number of the comic book i am Reading,plus if i want to collect all the comic books of a character this way i can know how many issues were published before.
They really need to do away with numbers altogether.
If one is needed, keep it in the fine print of the indicia.
Just mark them Sept. 2018, Oct. 2018, etc. Like magazines.
And they could still put 'part 1 of x' or 'first issue of a new era' on the cover to point readers to good starting points.

That works fine... for monthlies. What about double shippers?
