Nope, this has a similiar problem to missing uids in the statistics core. When you run index-authority: 1) DSpace will assign new UUIDs to all authors (authority core documents) 2) DSpace will guess that authors with the same name are the same person and will assign them the same UUID, so if you were to disambiguate them manually - tough luck, the data is lost. 3) If you added any external identifiers (currently only ORCID is used), you've lost this association.
