I see the static naming in a systemd owned folder as preferable for many
reasons

Less racy as only root can create the folders

Easier to identify what the folders belongs to

Easier to handle in /tmp garbage cleanup strategies

Less prone to having lots of garbage folders collect in /tmp over time.

Services keep their /tmp on restarts (for both good and bad)
