I am wondering whether this change is a good idea. Although it does solve a very rare problem, it is also arguably a "change for change sake" because the problem happens almost never (if ever).
The problem: the change could break CC file names for people who changed the file template in the wireless driver to be the same as the (old) default CC template ({title} - {authors}) because the change makes the content server and cloud connections use different names.
Does anyone think that the change is a good thing and that I should leave it there?

IMHO a poor idea (that I used on my PEz, which used filenames only, until it bit me)
{id} assumes that the calibre Library does not change (frozen)
Any number of activities will result in what is thought simply as 'My Library' (as in, I only have one) to get renumbered, thus many dupes if {id} is the official tie breaker.

I don't have a good idea around this UUID is internal to the book and not a simple template tool
