What should I put in /etc/ttys, taking into account that I regularly use
multiple virtual consoles? And where in that file do I place that? At
the beginning or the end? Or somewhere in between?

For the console, use /etc/ttys.
For an X terminal, use whatever mechanism is correct for that terminal
(.Xdefaults XTerm*termName for xterm).
The file /etc/ttys is 22.5kB in size and is full of all kinds of "tty**
...". I don't think this is the right file to use something like that.
It seems to me that you are making the system disrupted/unstable by
doing so. Those "ttys**..." won't vouch for it for nothing.
Yes that is exactly the right file. That is what the file is *for*. It
sets the console type for various ways of accessing consoles on the
system. The "console" and "ttyC*" lines are the ones you want (the
additional ones are for various virtual consoles on ctrl-alt-f2, etc).
(The "tty0*" are for serial consoles if you have them.)
