> I would point out, however, that using a V1 UUID rather than a V4 can help with this as it is sequential, not random (based on MAC address and timestamp + random)
I wanted to make this point, using sequential UUIDs helped me reduce write amplification quite a bit with my application, I didn't use V1, instead I used: https://pgxn.org/dist/sequential_uuids/
Reduces the pain caused by UUIDs a ton IMO.
