It's for optimization mostly, the engine usually has a good idea of where stuff are, having it give hints to VDSM can speed up the search process.
also, then engines knows how transient some storage pieces are. If you have a domain that is only there for backup or "owned" by another manager sharing the host, you don't want you VMs using the disks that are on that storage effectively preventing it from being removed (though we do have plans to have qemu switch base snapshots at runtime for just that).

Where will this identifier be persisted?

The relationship between volumes and images is deceptive at the moment.
IMG is the chain and volume is a member, IMGUUID is only used to for verification and to detect when we hit a template going up the chain.
When you do operation on images assumptions are being guaranteed about the resulting IDs. When you copy an image, you assume to know all the new IDs as they remain the same.
With your method I can't tell what the new "opaque" result is going to be.
Preview mode (another abomination being deprecated) relies on the disconnect between imgUUID and volUUID.
Live migration currently moves a lot of the responsibility to the engine.

Any intermediary step is needlessly problematic for existing clients.
Work is already in progress for fixing the API properly, making some calls a bit nicer isn't an excuse to start making more compatibility code in the engine.

Upon reflection I agree that having the request ID unique per client is problematic and we need to make sure they are unique per host at every point in time.

I am completely against keeping the task for a nominal amount of time, it just makes another flow.
You need to have code that makes up in case you missed that window any way then just have one recovery code path, when VDSM looses you task or you lose VDSM recover immediately.
Also, because task IDs can be reused once they expire assuming that the task you encountered is the same task you originally sent is problematic.
If you expect intermittent connections use the AMQP backend (which will support broker-less p2p communication as well)

And, as I said, changing the API is problematic for migration of current users.
