I think we should tread very carefully about disallowing inputs that
have been considered acceptable for 25 years.  I agree with disallowing
numeric fields along with 'epoch' and 'infinity', but for example
this seems perfectly useful and sensible:

# select timestamptz 'today 12:34';
      timestamptz       
------------------------
 2023-03-04 12:34:00-05
(1 row)

Why do you want to skip ValidateDate in some cases?  If we've not
had to do that before, I don't see why it's a good idea now.
