As per the signature in the docs:

The endianness is the second template argument. What you need
to write is
buffer.append!(uint,
Endian.littleEndian)(cast(uint)stdTimeToUnixTime(Clock.currStdTime));
or
append!(uint, Endian.littleEndian)(buffer,
cast(uint)stdTimeToUnixTime(Clock.currStdTime));
Note that you don't need to specify the third template
argument, that will be inferred automatically from the type of
`buffer`
Hmm... the examples for append in the documentation look very
different from the syntax you have suggested. No wonder.
In any case, I have tried the code with the first way you
suggested, and append actually does not append to the buffer,
but... rewrites the buffer!
Since the buffer is not static, shouldn't append actually do that?
