Thank you all for your input on this. Here is a summary of what I have
learned from you all.

Approach 1: partition on uuid_extract_timestamp(id)

Pros: No need for custom function to convert from timestamptz to uuidv7
      Partitions are human-readable
      Can use pg_partman
Cons: Cannot have a primary key on id
      Cannot use foreign keys

Approach 2: partition on id

Pros: Can have a primary key on id
      Can have foreign key constraints

Cons  Require custom function to convert from timestamptz to uuidv7
      Partitions ranges must be decoded to be human-readable
      Can't use pg_partman (this is true?)
