Yes, in 6.1 here

https://au.mouser.com/datasheet/2/389/l78-974043.pdf

the fine print says the 100n “improves transient response”.

10u was for some additional filtering on the load. Some bus boards
distribute this along the board (but do keep in rush currents in mind).

Most modules would have local decoupling caps at entry.

Whilst the 78/79xx has thermal and short circuit protection, your circuit
does not have any protection should the +ve output be shorted to the -ve
out. A 1N4002 across each output will protect against this.

Also curious now, for bulk caps immediately following the full wave bridge
rectifier, has anyone seen/used additional high frequency filtering caps on
this side??

Regards,
JPS
