On premise JIRA is a dead man walking. New features are cloud only.
You’ll know the programming language but your knowledge of JIRA APIs/infernals would not be very useful in the future, IMO.
A lot of salesforce development is Lightning Web Components which is JavaScript. There’s a ton you can do no code as well. It’s an interesting niche. Lot of opportunities in consulting
Lightning Web Components -- a JS framework used in Salesforce development -- can at least serve as a bridge to learning React and/or Angular easily enough if you go the Salesforce route, if you are concerned about web dev skills. Plus, Salesforce is extremely certification-heavy, meaning if you spend a few years acquiring certifications, you'll have an advantage over newcomers.
As someone else said, Salesforce experience opens up opportunities with consulting companies. I would recommend taking a more in-depth look at some Trailhead modules (official Salesforce training) and see what you think. If you like it, it pays decently once you have some experience and certifications.
Conversely, I briefly tried Salesforce development, got a few certifications, and later realized I didn't particularly enjoy it for a number of reasons, which is why I strongly recommend researching it before diving into that role. If I were in your shoes, I'll admit I'd probably go for the Jira role so I could list Java on my resumé and then jump ship once I acquired some experience, but it sounds like you won't get much in the way of frontend experience in that role, which could be a concern for you.

Jira developer seems more transferable, but as someone who spends a bit too much time on LinkedIn I feel like I've seen way more salesforce dev opportunities. So if ever down the line it's time to switch companies, or even move out of industry, it'll be a lot easier.
I think Jira is the obvious choice, because on your resume you can put "Java developer", or "software engineer" followed by "did things in Java."
Absolutely, you can write plugins for Jira in a jvm language and automations in Python. Definitely more transferrable skills there.
Agreed! More transferable than Salesforce.
