It is an internal variable.

Any docs on what org-id-locations is about, who/what uses it?

That's redundant. Calling `org-id-find' would suffice (org-id-find
internally arranges org-id-locations to be updated).

In any case, loading and searching id locations scales well for
thousands of entries - I currently have 60+k entries there without
issues.

I think so...

E.g. org-brain.el 788-794:

---8<---
(defun org-brain-entry-from-id (id)
  "Get entry from ID."
  (unless org-id-locations (org-id-locations-load))
  (when-let ((path (gethash id org-id-locations)))
(list (org-brain-path-entry-name path)
  (org-brain-headline-at (org-id-find id t))
  id)))
--->8---

Does org-brain have anything to do with org-id-locations?

You might be interested in https://www.orgroam.com/ which is a broadly similar 
idea to org-brain but uses a SQLite database to track id locations and links.

I like it, but even my small pool of notes is slow with org-brain.

---8<---
~ $ hash-table-size $org-id-locations
1322
--->8---
