In case it's useful, I have put together (just last week) some config to
help in creating and using human-readable CUSTOM_IDs in conjunction with
`counsel-org-link`, but which could just as easily be used to apply the IDs
to every heading in the current document:
https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-doom/blob/master/doom.org#capturing-and-creating-internal-org-links

Now I have to look at TEC's ID-generation code, seems much nicer :)
