Should the Cuid module be started as part of the supervision tree?

Or should I call

{:ok, pid} = Cuid.start_link
Cuid.generate(pid) # => ch72gsb320000udocl363eofy

Or should call both of the above to generate a new ID every time?

Due to security concerns (which also exist in database auto-increment ids, uuid/guid, and most other id standrads), the Cuid standard is now deprecated in favor of Cuid2.

[...]

Forget what I'm saying, it's using the process id to be unique-per-process.

Do you think Cuid could be a good replacement of UUIDv4 for creating users or documents server side ?
