By naming them UUIDv4 and UUIDv7, is it going to be this never ending confusion for people to have to remember which one is good for databases and which one good for one time tokens?
Not sure what the backwards compatible solution here is either.
In elixir the function is UUID.uuid4() to generate a v4 UUID.
So we could theoretically scan code for its use I suppose. But all this increases chances of errors.

Yes, because this is what's been happening already with the past versions. It's not just sequential and random, there are also hash-based UUIDs. They shouldn't have sequential (heh) version numbers.
