No, they are supported. TrinTragula once mentioned that bugs etc. will be fixed, if reported. But they are rarely reported, probably due to only a minority of players playing later starts.

However, pdx also said, they consider it a mistake to have added later start dates, since updating these is much work for only a small benefit (as they are rarely played).

Well, that's the fault of the game itself - any other start than 1444 is terribly unbalanced and it's nearly impossible to achieve something as some nations, unlike in CK2 where you can work your way up from a mere count to an emperor in any possible start date as any available character.
 
I’m no longer on eu but this should be regarded as a bug and not a suggestion. It’s probably better to post it in the bug forum for the team to see and prioritize it. :)

Later Start dates are not updated by Paradox

As often as it’s repeated this isn’t and hasn’t ever been true. There has not been a single patch to this game that didn’t update later start dates. Any reported history bugs also get fixed (in general true of script bugs in fact) from patch to patch.
We don’t really balance the game around the later starts however and very few people play them (indeed bug reports related to them are extremely rare).

Ah, fair enough. Just things like no Anglicanism in later dates etc. As a modder, I understand the effort needed for later dates compared to just new contents and totally understand why it isn't a priority.

As far as events are concerned the only effort would be to add a single line in the trigger section.

I don't know, I like to pick an interesting point in history, play through the important events and several decades more just to see the possible alternative. It becomes pretty monotonous playing the same game for centuries.
