Finnish has multiple infinitives, so should the form be marked as first infinitive perhaps?

You are right. The infinitives need need to be described with more detail than just {{Q|Q179230}}. However, I seem to be unable to find items to do so. We probably need to create few more items to properly model infinitives.

I have worked with other Finnic languages as well, and I'm wondering if the notion of numbered infinitives can be applied to those languages too, or just to Finnish. I know that Estonian has a "ma" and a "da" infinitive, corresponding to the Finnish third and first respectively. Veps has first, second and third infinitives, at least according to Wikipedia. So if there are going to be new items, they should probably labelled in such a way that they can be reused for multiple languages.
