Hmm. Well, he said he doesn't feel anything about having hurt people, most of the time. Well, that could be just an accurate observation of the normal human condition. We all feel bad about things we've done in the past, but not all the time most of the time, like Jack, we feel nothing. On the other hand, it could mean something. It could mean he doesn't have a soul. Now, Donatello doesn't have a soul, but when he finds himself at a moral crossroad, he just asks himself what Mr Rogers would do, so maybe this season's going to be about Jack choosing whose example to follow. Having said that, there are things that Jack clearly does care about: he cares about his mother, he cares about being accepted by the Winchesters. This implies he does have a soul. But, then, it could all be an act. But the scene with Mia suggests it isn't an act, because that was an outsider pov. Jack didn't need to pretend he cared about his mum with Mia

Re the 'gross but inconsistent' shape shifting: I just took it that Mia went away and sloughed as normal before returning to Jack as his mother and, although it may have seemed very quick to the viewer, I assumed there had been a passage of time that we just weren't shown.
I don't know how to predict Jack's eventually being either good or evil, because I'm not sure the writers are 100% sure about which way he will fall. I suspect they decided to see how Jack was received by fans with a plan A for if he was liked and a Plan B for if he wasn't. So far, most fans seem to really like him, so Plan A will come into play. If I have to guess, Jack will do some bad things, but his love of Sam will pull him back from the brink. This will be especially true if, as I suspect, Cas may not be our Cas. This is not a spoiler, just a hope because Empty Cas was a LOT more interesting than real Cas has been in forever.
I'm still not sure where we're heading for Jack, but if feels like they're all setting us up to love him, so I'm guessing something bad will happen (maybe he'll nearly go evil but then die saving the world, or he will go evil and it will hurt lots and lots!)
