Just as you mention the 3 different times associated with the entry of a
transaction and conclude that "time posted to gnucash" is least valuable,
I think the same is true of reconciliation.
When you did the reconciliation is much less important than the period for
which you are doing the reconciliation.
For example, assuming that I just balanced my checkbook year-to-date.
Yes, it is sloppy to wait so long, but it happens. Now, just to make matters
worse, I balanced my April statement first. Then I did January, etc.
When I come back later, I don't care at all that I reconciled that check on
May 1. What I want to know is that it cleared the bank in March.

How about using the "ending date" of the statement period instead?
