If John actually only asked Jane out once and then stopped, then the boss can indeed decide that it’s not harassment, and Jane needs to deal. But, if it turns out that John has asked her out multiple times or is punishing her for saying no that one time, then the boss really cannot decide that it’s “not bad enough” to punish.

YES YES YES. If John really has been harassing Jane, that can cause a lot of stress for her and could indeed affect her performance. Same if John is a person of color and Jane is being a racist bully to him. It’s hard to do your best work when your colleagues or bosses are horrible.
