I really disagree that the privacy risk is enough to not use it at all, even in a healthcare setting.

There are wild scenarios you can come up with where you may leak something, but that assumes the information isn't coming over anyway.

"Reveals account creation time" - most APIs return this in API responses by default.

When have you seen just a list of UUIDs and no other more revealing metadata?

Meanwhile what pwns 99% of companies? Phishing.

API responses should be limited to authenticated users. IDs are often present in hyperlinks that are included in insecure emails, or in URLs that, being routed through all sorts of networking hops may be captured and available as metadata.
