What hassle is it? Where in your codebase do you assume sequentiality? It should be a one line change in your db configs to generate GUIDs instead of ids. You have to do it eventually anyway as sequentiality can't be assumed once you shard.

Depends on the needs I suppose. I don’t like starting off with GUIDs until it’s proven they are needed, because, as you say, it’s a simple change. Sharing does complicate the picture, but how many apps really need sharding.

For security incidents, "when they are needed" will be too late to do anything. If it's all the same to you, I'd advise that you default to GUIDs.
