The most Beatles-related thing I know of about Jones were his claims
some years back about the Beatles' -- particularly Ringo's and Paul's -- supposed incompetence as musicians.

Paul at least seems to hold no hard feelings, he posted a lengthy
tribute to Instagram. Shortly after the interview you referred to he
said Jones called him up and "explained the situation" (without going
into specifics) and that the two "laughed about" the incident.
If Ringo doesn't post his own tribute that might speak volumes. Or that
he simply wasn't as friendly with Jones as Paul in later years.

I knew him personally through a musician friend when he lived in California and I can assure you that he was narcissistic, arrogant, jealous and insufferable.
Anyone who knew him knows that very well.
Whether he was good for jazz is another matter.
As for Paul, he was always very conciliatory with those kinds of people, Paul doesn't want to be angry with anybody, and you could see that in his relationship with John and that monster Yoko.

Jones's death has led some commentators to revisit that "We Are the
World" doc.
I find the song wretched and the show full of cringeworthy moments,
e.g., all the deference towards Michael Jackson.
