Very nice. Thanks for sharing. I did something similar but directly in our child theme’s Plugin.inc file.

public function loadTemplateData($hookName, $args) {
	// Retrieve the TemplateManager
	$templateMgr = $args[0];
	$submission = $templateMgr->get_template_vars('citationArgs');
	$submissionId = $submission['submissionId'];
	
	$dateAccepted = "";
	
	$editDecisionDao = DAORegistry::getDAO('EditDecisionDAO');
	$decisions = $editDecisionDao->getEditorDecisions($submissionId);
	
	foreach ($decisions as $decision) {
		if ($decision['stageId'] == '3' && $decision['decision'] == '1')
			$dateAccepted = $decision[dateDecided];			
	}		
	$templateMgr->assign('acceptanceDate',$dateAccepted); 
}

You have to hook in the loadTemplateData function inside of init()
		
HookRegistry::register ('TemplateManager::display', array($this, 'loadTemplateData'));

We just use $article->getDatePublished() and $article->getDateSubmitted() directly in the theme template.
