Everything starting with .1.3.6.1.2 is reserved for the IETF to assign.
So starting with that annoys them.

Enterprises (orgs) start with: 1.3.6.1.4.1

    https://oidref.com/1.3.6.1.4.1

Other orgs have their own space.  Fr example, Cicso
start with: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9

gpsd now has its own, reserved prefix: .1.3.6.1.4.1.59054

Everyone is happy, until they see what I do.  :-)

Got that backwards.  The "counter" comes forst, then the "unit".

Nothing limits to under 31.  We could have thousands.

For example, u-blox 9 has over 1,000 config items.  I can easlily image
gpsd using at least 100.

You want it to work.  I want it to not interfere or annoy IETF.  At
least one ther asked about it this week.  About every few months someone
asks for our MIB, which we also need to do.
