That depends on if the specific implementation of the generator instance is thread safe. Highly implausible to use the same generator instance between different threads/processes/hosts because there's no benefit at all and only additional downsides. | ||||||||

To implement a thread-safe sequential increment, you need locking. When you use locking, then it becomes a “non-universal” ID generator with arbitrary performance impact. Either it’s collision-prone or locking. Both are problematic in their own way. It’s footguns all over while UUIDv7 simply exists. | ||||||||
