I didn't try it with PmWiki 2.1.x, but looking quickly through
the recipe I don't see any obvious reason why it shouldn't
work.  (If it doesn't work, it could probably be made to work
without too much difficulty.)

Yes, it's explicitly intended to work inside of pagelist templates.
If the pagenames contain something matching "yyyymmdd" or
"yyyy-mm-dd", they can be used directly with {(ftime)} inside
of a template.  For example:

    * [[{=$FullName}|{(ftime '' {=$Name})}]]

would display pages using the site's default date format for each pagename.
