You'd have the same problem with by-id, which uses the disk's model and serial. You might be thinking of by-label.

If you get rid of /dev/disk/by-id, How can you identify a partition in event of a partition table failure?
Also, if you have a drive failure and have to restore from a backup (disk image), how are you going to partition a new disk which will have different uuids?
