I have recently wondered why Ruby on Rails is using a full-length SHA256 for their ETag fingerprinting (64 characters) when a UUID at 36 chars would probably be entirely enough to prevent collisions and be more readable at the same time. Esbuild on the other hand seems to use just 32bit (8 chars) for their content hash.
