My take on tlsdate:

No, since tlsdate has no features: see TODO items 5 and 6, for
instance (daemonization and clock skewing), and also items 9 and 1
(proxy support and leaking local clock). The claim about “parsing the
header with questionable code”, on the other hand, is silly — see my
reply to the email that you referenced. Granted, I wrote about C code,
and Tails uses Perl HTPDate version, so YMMV. Even without https
support in C HTPDate, it seems more attractive to me than current
tlsdate. With all that said, I actually intend to fork tlsdate at some
point and implement the required features, but it's quite low
priority.
