You don’t have to use a pk as public identifiers.

If this is your use-case, private serial pk and fully random public identifiers is a better trade off than uuid. V4 is inefficient as a pk and v7 leaks info too.

Many business don’t really have super secret customers/growth and don’t need to hide that info, but if you feel you do you can transition to uuidv4 (not v7) for public identifiers while keeping an efficient pk.
