I'm not sure why you're talking about prefix. I thought that the issue
was that user can supply session_id() with the ID that is not good for
some reason and you want to filter it on session_id level. Am I wrong?

Why not? The ID created now is not secure? Why? I see it uses
php_session_create_id(), do you mean this function is insecure too? Why?
In any case, if you think it is insecure, why not fix it?
