Have you tried it? I did just now, with a GC file that contained nothing later than 2017, and Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Profit and Loss all default to the current years. So if you're talking about "look[ing] at that year's figures" in reports, you'll still have to "change dates". I'm in 4.14, so it's possible that report defaults are different in 5.x, but I'd be surprised.
