After checking the history of the UUID filtering, it was introduced in [1] when our CI uses sphinx <1.3 and was copied to the related scripts. sphinx >=1.3 no longer adds UUID per string by default (in gettext_uuid option [2]) and our CI does not enable this option, so we can safely drop the UUID filtering.
