It is generally preferred to have JRE emulation within GWT itself instead 
of having separate libraries. Basically a single source of trust, which is 
well reviewed, tested and optimized. Also J2CL uses the same emulation and 
it might be beneficial to have J2CL experts take a look at the emulation 
code as well.

There was someone who did java.time emulation but he never contributed it. 
It was based on the threeten repository on Github. Personally I think 
java.time should really be tackled by GWT because working with Date in 
Client code is a pain. Using momentjs works, however it is still a pain for 
code you want to share between client and server. (There is also a 
java.time emulation on Github somewhere which uses momentjs under the hood 
I believe)
