I'd forego the YYYYMMDDxxx format and use either UNIX epoch time which
is auto-incrementing anyway, or store an integer counter (in a file) and
increment that each time your zone changes.

(Do note, though, that if you do move away from YYYYMMDDxxx, you'll
 probably have to "reset" your zones' SOA serial numbers so that slave
 servers don't miss out on zone transfers. [1].)

Hope that helps a bit (from the DNS point of view), and I cannot really
give you a good answer from the Puppet-point-of-view.
