In an item's properties in Catalog (tables, FCs, views, etc.):

It would help if the item's creation date were available in the properties window. Possibly in the General tab.

That would be helpful for data management purposes.

I'm aware that the creation date can be gleaned from the db via SQL in a pinch. But that's inconvenient, not available to non-DBA users, and doesn't help us for non-enterprise GDBs. Out-of-the-box info in Pro would be better.

Although this could probably be maintained manually or automated in some way via the Metadata, I agree. I would even go further to say a created date and a modified date could be useful. I often find myself adding dates to the end of feature names, especially when I'm building things out and testing, to try and keep things straight. This obviously adds clutter to filenames I would rather not have, and is dependent on the forethought to do so.
