Questions

Which UUID version is this?

Version 4 (random), made with the browser's crypto.randomUUID, which uses a secure random source.

Can two UUIDs collide?

In practice, no. There are 2^122 possible values, so you'd need billions per second for many years before a collision becomes likely.

Are UUIDs good database keys?

They work well, but random v4 values spread out index writes. For heavy insert loads consider a time-ordered ID such as UUID v7.
