Yes, UUIDv7 doesn't have the same charm and texture as tree notches. But it's been a huge help with my tables containing billions of records.

Sure, we could use faster alternatives specifically for indexes - but UUIDs are used throughout all business processes. Setting up a separate "conversion to UUID" step seems like a waste.
