I'm coming back to FreeBSD after many years away and I am setting up a new
system with 10-2-release.

I was reading through Handbook section 29.4.1 "Enabling IPFW" and it says:
"To enable logging, include this line in
/etc/rc.conf: firewall_logging="YES"".  That didn't seem to work for me, so
I went looking through /etc/rc.firewall, and found it's looking for  a line
like "firewall_logdeny="YES" instead, but it's only checking for that for
the case where firewall_type="workstation".

That works fine, but it's not documented in either the handbook page or the
rc.conf(5) man page.  Before I submit a problem report, I wanted to check
here if I'm missing something (maybe it's a deprecated option or
something?).
