The title of this article is as misleading as it could possibly get.
The author's recommendation is to make UUID's longer and encode them with base 64 instead of hexadecimal. That's it. Somehow that means "moving away from UUID's."
UUIDs are 128 bits by definition. So there is no such thing as a “longer UUID”, but if you use that concept then you are indeed “moving away from UUIDs.”
