To serialize it downwards ...
Place in any starting cell,
say in B2: =ROWS($1:1)
Copy down as far as required to generate: 1,2,3,...

If I delete a row (or delete a cell and move up), that leaves a gap in the
number series.

i guess in this case

=ROWS(A$1:A1)

would work better.
then fill down, and delete rows in the middle, and it will adjust

No, pub, it wouldn't.
If you delete a row in the middle (or delete a cell and move up), that
formula too will leave a gap.

Think the earlier suggestion should work ok, ie it'll auto-adjust for entire
row deletions, which was what I guess the OP is asking for. Other than that
scenario, for eg: delete a cell and move up (as you mentioned) I agree it
doesn't work.

I'm not sure why you say it doesn't work for entire row deletions
