Question about "&date=1"

[clemzarch]

Hello, does anyone know if it's safe to always set the parameter &date=1?
I know it's a workaround for a bug when using date filters, but I'm tempted to always leave it on in my code, no matter the resource, so I never have to worry about it.

Do we know if leaving it to 1 could break some resources or results?
And by the way, I only know of this workaround from forums and GitHub issues (here and here), but is it written somewhere in the documentation?
