I disagree that it's worth the effort to create a helper function to
wrap four lines of code, particularly since the pnfs code has this extra
weird wart of returning the byte offset(?) of the uuid location.

Why does xfs_fs_get_uuid use memcpy then?  Did the compiler reject the
u8* -> uuid_t * type conversion?

Alternately there's export_uuid().
