Correct. Recommended for future repositories.

As you noted, changing a repository UUID breaks existing working copies 
and svn sync setups. So it is not recommended if you care about them.

However, I am not aware of anything breaking for the server itself, 
access to the on-disk repository date is purely path based unless I am 
mistaken.
