I feel, honestly, like while you are indeed correct for most cases it’s absolutely fine to use some flavor of uuid. I feel like the benefits outweighs the cost in most cases.

Sure, and for many cases, uuidv7 is that flavor. It just comes with a timestamp, which may or may not be an issue. It isn't an issue for me, which is why I use it myself.
