Are There Negatives to Removing the Rich Snippet Date

[ProjectLabs]

On some of our website's pages, Google displays the date of the last update in the search results.

We want to remove this because it cuts off our meta description and it can make our page look outdated.

Are there any negative consequences that you can think of when removing the date rich snippet.

I've removed dates from evergreen content for the same reason (makes it look outdated) and haven't seen any negative consequences.  Does it really matter to your users when the piece of content was created?  If not, then the date is not necessary.
