I’m working on an older j2ee project. It runs on JBoss. It deploys various ears and wars. It also requires many jar files in the $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib directory. Should those all be moved to the ear and war files?

What you are doing will work fine, but I usually like to put them in the individual EAR/WAR files.
The biggest reason for that is if you have multiple applications that use the same libraries and want to upgrade to a new version for one app, you can do that without affecting the rest of them. This of course is especially important if the new version of the library introduces a breaking change that would then have to be fixed in all your applications rather than just the one that needs the new version.
