Given schema is limited to where uuid v4 usage is relevant/appropriate.

uuid version 7 more appropriate for keys in high-load databaseses and distributed systems.

Issues if need something other than uuid_v4. aka v8,

snowflake_id bit more compact than separate uuid_v4 & timezone

json, "blob" storage, not efficent for/optimized for search/replace operations. Json blob will need to be normalized every time data cached. File system storage with uuid_v7 index less overhead.
