I don't understand how the UUID could be such a hard problem. I can see that a change in UUID could pose a problems but not an insurmountable one. Maybe if you give some more details, people will be able to help. This said, if you don't have a /dev/nvme* and the disk you need to access is accessed via nvme, then no amunt of UUID change will help you (the UUID is just one of the ways you can name the disk, but the actual access needs to go through the /dev/nvme* thingy in the end anyway).
