I'd also prefer a solution which is human-readable without further need to lookup something. Unless there is a good point, why the ffuplink-hostname needs to be machine readable.
The point is: when the defaults-script is running the hostname is still "gib-mir-einen-namen". This will also not be unique and also will cause name-clashes.
Btw: You are aware, what we use at the moment? The currently used random string can't even be lookup easily, beside checking the config of all connected routers.
in freifunk-berlin/firmware-packages@8e2b55e we use the random MAC-address to have a 2nd unique name when registering in DHCP-server.
in OpenWrt a function to retrieve the MAC-address printed on the outside label was added (https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=0340718863040919ecaba74b2173ed52ebc194ce - after OpenWrt-19.07 branch of).
Let's use this address in the uplinks hostname.
So the host can easily looked up in the upstream-LAN, esp. when more than one Router is installed.
