No because the year is a super large time; there's a reason people always say they take a bit to adjust to writing the new year in dates because it's s long enough period of time that it almost becomes automatic.

For archiving, sure; most other things, no (logically, ISO-8601 is probably the best for most cases, in general, but I'll die on the hill that MM-DD-YYYY is better than DD-MM-YYYY).

Exactly. It would be like reading the minute of the clock before the hour.

Not when you're old... I'll be 50 this year, they're flying by.
