After further thought, I'm wondering about the name of the new option.

This is just about reading GeoJSON, right? If so, then I think a name
like PARSE_DATELIKE_FIELDS or DETECT_DATES would make more sense to
the user.

If I understand correctly, when converting to GeoJSON from other
formats, any date types will always be written as strings, regardless
of this option. The name "DATE_AS_STRING" makes it sound like the
option controls how the output is written.
