This is the main problem: `%uuid` is a converter and it can not modify the `LogEvent`.

The question is probably, where the duplication occurs. If a log event is passed to multiple appenders (or twice to the same appender), then `%uuid` will not be able to identify the duplicates. This was discussed in #3503. If the duplication occurs in the appender logic (e.g. it is cause by network retries), then sure, `%uuid` will help.
