Where 's the best on-wiki (Meta?) place to propose this?
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/RfC looks ok *if* you have enough information already. For instance, AFAIK DOI has a non-negligible cost and Internet Archive uses ARK instead for this reason. Information on the financial cost would certainly inform the discussion significantly, e.g. to decide whether it's worth it at all or whether to use curid instead, in your example https://en.wikipedia.org/?curid=31445754
