I'm doing something similar but images are not uploaded until a user has been enabled, so the ID will already exist, of course. You may not have that luxury. I do have a resumé upload but, instead of using the UID, I'm naming it after the user's name. I'm already creating a "slug" anyway from the first & last names, for other purposes. Like, John Smith will get the slug, "john_smith" (yes, I check to make sure a slug is unique).
In my case, I don't want to ever have several versions of a resumé. If I did, though, I could just append microtime as you suggest.
