I developed and shipped one product with monthly releases for decades and always simply bumped the version by one: 1, 2, 3..

Anything fancier doesn't really tell you exactly what features changed when, so a table in the documentation spelled that out for each version.

Exactly! I mean, as long as the number moves forward and is unique it works. So, this idea that using year.number is the most human AND uid based version makes a lot of sense.
