While not as great as 256 bit random numbers, PID reuse within the same
There's often a case for combining human meaning with random. On the random... Width of pid+epoch is 48 bits. CPU 4GHz per epoch = 32 bits. 48+32=80. ssh-agent deems (a-zA-Z0-9)^12 = 71+ bits in /tmp. 14 of those chars = 83+ bits, more than current onion. So doubt you really need to stuff 43 = 256+ bits onto a human readable field.
