Thanks!
I have concerns about your approach though.
You are replacing all the frame environments with custom environment
unconditionally. However, custom environment has downsides. For example,
\againframe will stop working, as pointed earlier in the linked beamer
thread
https://github.com/josephwright/beamer/issues/360#issuecomment-708705250
Since the problem appears only when the frame contents contains
\end{frame}, it may be sufficient to replace the standard frame
environment with the workaround only in such scenario.

Please use constant name. (org-id-uuid) makes export randomized for no
good reason.

Please use `org-beamer-template' rather than modifying the class.
Modifying the class may confuse users.
