> Does anyone have any criticisms of ULIDs?

Only that they aren’t more widely adopted or supported.

I use UUIDs in things like OBSERVER support[0]. They just need to be unique within the context of the runtime, so there’s no need for anything more.

However, for things like Bluetooth Attributes, I think ULIDs would be a good thing. That ship has probably sailed, though.
