Yes, I think we should stop futzing around with `parse-time-string' and
instead create a new well-defined library with a signature like:

(parse-time "2020-01-15T16:12:21-08:00" 'iso-8601)
(parse-time "1/4-2" 'us-date)
(parse-time "Wed, 15 Jan 2020 16:12:21 -0800" 'rfc822)

etc.  (And yes, I know the latter is a superseded standard, but it's the
one people know.)
