$date = new DateTime($value, $siteTimezone);
$date->setTimezone($storageTimezone);
$values[$key] = $date->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:s');
if (DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $value) !== FALSE) {

Would this ever return FALSE?

Yes it returns FALSE when value is of datetime type e.g. 2017-04-02T05:00:00.

The reason the old code uses that format is that even for date-only fields, the actual storage has the entire date and time string.

Yes this is what my understanding is. Ideally date-only fields should have been created with and without the timestamp but not happening with timestamp for me. Perhaps there is a change in Drupal core 8.6.x the way it handles the Date.

Running into the same issue, I have a date only field but I can set the value:

    When I am viewing a "page" content:
      | langcode   | nl         |
      | title      | Title.     |
      | field_date | 2020-07-14 |

field_date remains empty.

This patch fixed the issue.
