There's Date From Typed String Macro, too, which provides shortcuts for typing today's date in a variety of formats.

I have two formats, one without special characters that I append to checkpoints to make them unique

Humans. 12/04/2020 19:36:35
Filenames 20200412 193644

Edited: what i meant was i use zxdf which expands as
Insert Text by Typing %ICUDateTime%yyyyMMdd HHmmss%

Those are actually Date & Time formats, not just Dates. But you can adapt my Date From Typed String macro to include Times as well just using the Date/Time Format Syntax.
