My understanding was that speed is not something you want in a UUID generator, since it makes it more susceptible to brute force attacks. Is this not the case?

I've been using Cuid2[1] in most of my personal projects (this Go implementation[2], actually), which is fast enough, but not "too fast". It's also secure, collision resistant, and has everything I would need from a UUID.
