I can think of no objection to it. If I were fishing for an objection, I 
might suggest that using a type 5 noun suffix gives a syntactic role to 
a noun, but the syntactic role of a time expression comes from its 
placement alone. Of course, you can also add *-'e'* to subjects and 
objects, whose syntactic roles are also indicated only by position, so 
that's not much of an objection.
