I generally trust peer reviewed formal mathematical proofs that show something won't "fail" in a particular, relevant, way. If you don't then you probably shouldn't be on a computer. The code I'm relying on makes the same sorts of assumptions that keep your data secure. It is inconsistent to trust it in one place but not in another.
I don't see the need for belt-and-suspenders here and there are legit reasons not to add host/time to an identifier. That's why we have UUID1 and UUID4.
