You're saving storage space but potentially leaking details. Is that ok for your application? No one can answer but your org.

The details part is so miniscule that I doubt it even matters. You'd have difficult time trying to enumerate uuidv7s anyways.

Leaking time leaks information about customer growth and usage. It may matter to your competitors.
