would it be possible to align both engines more? Despite the pdf

Do you have a test file ?

\pdffeedback creationdate

\bye

and compile with dviluatex

It makes little sense to initialize the pdf machinery for this feature and it would be \dvifeedback creationdate then anyway a it relates to outputmode.

You can just define a command, something like this:

\def\pdfcreationdate
  {\directlua{
     tex.print(os.date("D:%Y%m%d%H%M%S+00'00'",os.time()))
  }}

if needed (assuming the percent character is a letter here).
