I’m making a custom block that can form “pools” in the world, spreading like fire. I want entities to be affected only if they’re in the same pool, and different pools of the same block shouldn’t interact. I was thinking of assigning each pool a UUID to track it.
How can I save that UUID on the blocks themselves so it persists across world reloads? I’d prefer not to use a BlockEntity — is there any way around that, or is a BlockEntity required?

Chunk attachments, level attachments, or saved data could work (I can't remember which ones Fabric has available).
However, you won't be able to store the UUID on the blocks themselves without a block entity.

SavedData, or PersistentState in yarn is a way to store persistent data on a world. The data can take any shape you wish, will be serialized when the world is, and can be accessed anywhere you have a world.
A potentially cheaper way to do this that has less fidelity would be to make there be a finite number of pools in a world and randomly assign the first block a pool
