Isn't it already mentioned?

     ...  In addition or alternatively, depending on the value of
     ‘org-id-link-to-org-use-id’, create and/or use a globally unique
     ‘ID’ property for the link(1).  So using this command in Org
     buffers potentially creates two links: a human-readable link from
     the custom ID, and one that is globally unique and works even if
     the entry is moved from file to file.  The ‘ID’ property can be
     either a UUID (default) or a timestamp, depending on
     ‘org-id-method’.  Later, when inserting the link, you need to
     decide which one to use.

The default value of `org-modules' is indeed a subject of discussion.
AFAIK, the current problem is that adding extra link types into
`org-modules' significantly slows down loading Org.

May you elaborate?
