the list view threshold is an old, familiar annoyance.
The problems with views are well known, as is the fact that they can be solved with indexed columns, views and appropriate filters.
I wasn't aware of the problem with the unique identifier either, but that's probably because we don't use it often in text columns.
We often build search driven applications with PnP Modern Search WebParts for a larger number of elements. When the index is broken, it's also possible, microsoft support can help most of the time with any unknown actions, but it helps.
Other thing is, we build solutions with Power Platform, Dataverse or logic apps with a larger number of elements.
Best, Dave
