Funnily enough I had a similar problem but I wanted text instead of a date. In the end I used a solution similar to yours and adjusted each cell entry manually for hours. Feels like there should be a lot simpler solution for this problem in LaTeX. Glad I don't need to use it anymore...
u/vox@sopuli.xyz suggested Typst as an alternative to TeX. I gave it a try, and I'm loving it so far. It even has built-in support for the rotated text thing https://typst.app/docs/reference/model/table . I've only used it for notes/homework so far, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it fares for more serious typesetting tasks.
That looks interesting, thanks for the ping. I will give it a try.
