My site has a few million nodes that are created and deleted automatically by an outside process. I don't want to create a UUID for these nodes, rather only for nodes of other content types.

Why don't you want to use UUID for these nodes? Generating UUIDs with PECL is a relatively inexpensive operation.

Having UUID for a few (ten) million nodes should not be a performance problems. All node types should have UUID. This is how it will work in D8 core.

If for any reason happens to be performance problems, we should optimize the indexes on the tables instead.

And as skwashd mentions, generating UUIDs is a very inexpensive process.
