2023-10-15 would be pretty universal.
ISO 8601 works for everyone.
It avoids confusing the Americans who otherwise put the month in the wrong place.
It avoids being ambiguous for everyone who may otherwise be worried that it was written by an American with the month in the wrong place, when the day is less than 13.
2023-10-09 is the 9th of October and it's clear to everyone regardless.
It also has the benefit of sorting chronologically if sorted "by name" when used in a filename as it's largest unit on the left, smallest on the right.
