I had a feature request for stale content notification:
https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-87724

"Aligned with roadmap" ... still not done. I don't hold much hope for getting reserved variables expanded since they've focused on modern site building, it feels like the existing features have almost been abandoned / ignored. It's almost like they don't know their own system.
Essentially a custom field could be added to work around and say in the Freemarker, compare the date in the custom field to today.

Assuming an intranet application <--- correct, Liferay may be blind to these use cases. Shout up for them.

Is there any use case for you using the knowledge base widget?

Not quite correct, look at the NHS website:
