The fact that you have to compile your own tools rather than just use what the distro provides is always a bit of a bore. Also, if you change the server to stop using UUIDs, then any clients which have the filesystem mounted will need to remount as the old mount will become stale. So it isn't a major problem, but nor is it an ideal solution.
