Certainly a Bad Idea :-)

I've been running one mail server that polls half a dozen remote
mailboxes (about to jump to a couple of dozen) using UIDL for nearly 3
years now.  I've never had a problem with UIDL support.

Alternatively, put it this way - you have no choice.  You can either
enable UIDL support or try to find another solution that doesn't use
fetchmail :)
