Ours are extremely steep, wooden with no runner. We used Osmo Polyx Anti Slip which makes a big difference, and also installed a handrail on the wall side. The latter is a huge help if you ever have anyone elderly or infirm to stay, regardless of how slippy the stairs are. Don't feel the need for a runner, with those.
Having gone from wooden floor > carpet in bedroom I wouldn't go back. It just feels much nicer underfoot. Assuming you have nice carpet obvs. We have wooden flooring in landing/stairs but carpeted bedrooms. I do also think it helps with insulation in older properties
