+1 This should be built into Org and enabled by default.

I currently generate image names with a custom snippet, but it gets
trying and should not be necessary in the first place.

Instead, Org should generate a unique file name automatically, similar
to how tangle ':comments' work, and use that as the default value for
the ':file` argument, getting rid of the dreaded error message

  org-babel-execute:LANG: You need to specify a :file parameter
