Thanks - it wasn't clear that the theme might not respect this setting, so this
clears things up. Looks like some template has to actually do something with
the "last_updated" value.
The theme I actually want to use is the pydata theme, which fortunately can be
easily configured to give me my desired behavior.
For others who might stumble on this thread, these are the important things I
added to conf.py :
html_theme = 'pydata_sphinx_theme'
html_theme_options = {
"footer_items": ["copyright", "sphinx-version", "last-updated"],
}
html_last_updated_fmt='%Y-%m-%d'
