Not, neither the PARTUUID nor the filesystem UUID are variable, but for 
filesystem UUID support in your bootloader, you do need an initramfs ─ 
you do _not_ need an initramfs for PARTUUID support, but then you have 
to have a GUID partition table rather than the DOS-compatible MBR 
partition table.

The /dev/<something> designation however can indeed vary from boot to 
boot, depending on the order in which the devices are found.

That may be a function of the virtualization software you're using.
