I just remembered that Jaune put his hand on Pyrrha's hand before she rested her head on his shoulder. Putting your hand on someone else's hand tends to be an "I like you a lot" couples thing.

So.

Yeah. While I have little doubt he would have had self-esteem issues preventing him from making the ship canon earlier, I don't think it was unrequited.

Keep in mind with Pyrrha training him he likely would feel inferior(just as he felt because of falsifying his transcripts), and was likely waiting until he closed the gap(if he wasn't oblivious).
