I'm starting to come around to the same feeling.

That sounds like a reasonable way to move forward.

I'm not a pcase expert. How would one go about doing the pcase stuff? That is, 
how does one provide a pattern so that code like (pcase time ((decoded-time 
:year y :month m) (some-expr-involving y & m))) can extract the year and month 
components Y and M from the broken-down time TIME that was created via 
(make-decoded-time :year y :month m)? Is there an example of doing this sort of 
thing somewhere?
