Nice! I misunderstood the initial question. The above works fine for me
as a way to insert inline footnotes with random labels. When I call
org-footnote-action, I get the following.

 - Here is a footnote.[fn:5952d54e: A footnote]

Could you please explain what you mean here? The above settings do not
create a footnote section when I call org-footnote-action or
org-footnote-new. But you could use (setq org-footnote-section nil) to
ensure that any footnote definitions (if they exist) will be placed in
the same section as the footnote reference.

Or do you mean the label for "Footnotes" in, say, html export? If so, I
believe you can configure the variable org-html-footnotes-section.

Best,
