"keep as it is" as in "WONTFIX due to keeping with PowerPoint
compatibility"?.

1. Are you aware of the post-hoc modification to inserted date/time fields?
That's a WORKSFORME (you haven't stated a clear requirement).

yes aware on post-hoc right-click to change the format (however, no YYYY
available)

2. Consistency is prime for usability, for sure, and maybe I'm too indulgent
with development but don't we have more important issues?
3. The Writer dialog offers much more options than just modification to the
Date field. Would be somewhat boring to show it alike in Impress, plus the
dialog is not the epitome of beauty.

My question to you was if you agree balancing all these facts. Otherwise we
clarify the needed changes and keep the ticket open.

Yeah agree to balance these facts. 

My initial suggestion on the ticket is to allow additional formats or custom
format available the existing menu .. using full writer dialog is just
nice-to-have. (ref: my 'expected results' on ticket)

but if adding additional date formats also not possible due to keeping with
PowerPoint compatibility (ref: eike's comment), then nothing much I can say
there and will just make do with static string and whatever already there.
