User UID publicly visible?

Is it bad to make the User UID visible publicly? Basically I am creating an app with a dynamic route for the user profile. The dynamic route will be the username but until they set a username it will be a randomly generated id. I thought I could use the User UID to prevent from having to assign yet another random ID but wasn't sure if that would be a problem.
