Does barcoding have any relevance to phylogeny? I thought it was like a
"bio-hash", with the output guaranteed to be unique but not necessarily
have any other useful purpose.. :)

Certainly 16S rRNA and other medium-high conserved genes are useful for
inferring relationships between species, but for intra-species
relationships there's probably a different set of more medium-variable
genes that vary more within centuries.
