When I create a new note with org-roam-find-file, the created file has a timestamp in its name. If I can recall correctly, this wasn’t the case a few weeks back when I tried Org-roam, but I may be wrong. Is it possible to avoid adding the timestamp?

Absolutely. Adjust `org-roam-capture-templates`.
