Actually, the opposite. Ardour (and I) do not want you to use JACK.

Conjecture.  JACK with MIDI is a total PITA for most users. JACK for people
from other platforms is just utterly conceptually confusing. When it does
something that you need, it's amazing. When you don't need it, it doesn't
give you anything that the ALSA backend doesn't (and the ALSA backend makes
working with MIDI much simpler).
