You say "minimum". Others might disagree:

Half clock:
##:##:## AM	or	##:## PM

Full clock:
##:##:##	or	##:##

The difference with seconds is approximately 37.5% extra width required for
the half clock, 11 characters vs. 8. Without seconds, it's 8 vs. 5, 60% extra
for the half clock.

"I cannot set my short date to YYYY-MM-DD, nor my time to HH:MM"

It doesn't appear upstream is hearing this as anything serious, and blaming
upstream QT for delay in doing anything about it. Difficulty (inability?) to
locate and apply ISO 8601 formats is a gross and inexcusable
omission/regression, regardless of reason why or difficulty fixing.
