FWIW, I've just discovered that despite what
http://dtrace.org/guide/chp-fmt.html says about %Y its output is not dependent
on locale settings.
A quick look at the code confirms that -- pfprint_time uses ctime_r.
But %T (undocumented at the above link) indeed depends on LC_TIME as
pfprint_time822 uses strftime("%a, %d %b %G %T %Z").

Sample output in C locale:
10000000
Mon, 30 Nov 2020 13:47:24 UTC
2020 Nov 30 13:47:24

The same formats (%'d, %T, %Y) in uk_UA locale:
10 000 000
