I'm not against using UUIDs, but it has to be done in a balanced manner. Normal numeric IDs for all surrogates, and then a UUID as an external lookup attribute. You push that externally for API calls, tokens, etc. so you don't have to worry about leaking sequential values, so it should be indexed. Otherwise, it's purely a lookup to key you into the JOIN chain for everything else.

That said, Now that UUIDv7 is available, switching to that should be a priority.
