1. A "default" PK generation strategy is thread-safe within a JVM.
Most adapters (except for generic JdbcAdapter) also implement proper
locking for cross-JVM concurrency.
2. 'Auto-increment' (aka "Database-Generated" PK) strategy is
supposedly thread-save (but its behavior depends on the database, not
Cayenne):

3. 'Custom Sequences' strategy only works if the default strategy for
a given adapter is also a sequence. And of course it is thread-safe.

Support for sequences predates support for auto-incrementing fields.
Only certain databases support sequences though.
Auto-increment and sequences as well as database-independent (pk
table) primary key generation are supported in the current modeler.
