Comment (by swissspidy):

 > could we instead concatenate the date_format and time_format values with
 a space?

 Nope. String concatenation is always bad for i18n. Also, these strings
 already exists like that, see `WP_Locale::_strings_for_pot()`.

 ----

 Looking at `wpDateSettings`, it seems like a `WP_Locale` JS counterpart
 would be helpful. To get all these formats etc. of the current locale.
 Perhaps we can handle that in #20491 or a new ticket afterwards.
