The only issue I see with using ROW_NUMBER is that you will have to always select all results from a table, assign a row number then only pull the results you want. This is exactly how limit & offset works. So it isn't going to be of any help if your database is growing fast.
As I said if you include microseconds in your timestamp value, there mostly will be no collision.
You're right! You'd just have to have these micro-timestamps in your database and have end-users tolerant to potential (even rare) collisions otherwise I guess you'd have to deal with less performant fetching strategies.
