I have multiple Calibre libraries and do frequently transfer books among them. I also occasionally delete and re-add the book back to the same library.
So, given my habits, it appears I should not go with the new default. Up to now I have been using just the Title and Author, and it appears I should stick with that. (Note: I am very careful to avoid having identical titles in my libraries.)
Even given the simplicity of using just Title and Author, there appears to be various options in CC settings to achieve that? To be sure I have it set up optimally, can you recommend precise settings I should use for both Calibre and CC going forward to achieve consistent file names. Being able to sync bookmarks and reading positions across multiple devices with Moon Reader is important to me.

First, note that the new default comes into play only if you have checked no boxes in Settings / File names and you use the content server or cloud connection. With no boxes checked the wireless device is given the file name by calibre, which computes it using the template in the wireless device settings. The calibre template by default has ({id}) in it.
If you check the use template box then the template you enter will be used everywhere in CC. The template in calibre is ignored. Given the situation you describe it is a good idea to remove the ({id}) from the template.
