so calling acf.fields.repeater.set({$el: acf.fields.repeater.$el}).render();
after the insert allows for the new row locations to get saved on post update, but the row numbers are not correct until after the page is reloaded. I also suspect that the two functions that move into accordion and list can be added to the repeater object, but not really clear on how this works in js.
this was helpful for getting the row positioned to the right place without dragging:

Still looking if it’s possible to have acf update row numbers and the db.
I can’t find where these type of function are located:
in repeater input.js – ‘acf/sortable_stop_repeater’ and in repeater.php ‘acf/update_field/type=’
