One other way would be to do the conversion on the client-side using javascript.
Overwrite the complete datetime input cell and add an event listener to either onChange of this input or the submit event, to trigger the conversion before submitting, so elog would get the converted time.
In out elog some entries get additional information added in this way.

I don't feel comfortable allowing the elog daemon to execute random shell scripts. Is there no other way?

If you define a field as "datetime" then you'll get the standard ELOG input field for datetime. It will be stored as seconds of the epoch (seconds since 1.1.1970).
You can define a field as a default string input, then it is stored as a string. But you can convert that string by a shell scripts into seconds of the epoch. See "subst" command in the documentation of the elog syntax:
