Couple of thoughts come to mind, which are a bit brute-force.

I think then we'd have to have an X:Y mapping of every single source and
destination as explicit full paths mapped to full paths.

How many posts are there? We'd need a rewrite rule for each one.

Can the HTTP server handle N 100s of these rewrites? Should seem so, yes?

(It occurs to me that if you did want the full dates in the path again, we
could go re-import of data. Then have a set of rewrite rules from the source
stripped-of-dates-path to the new path -- rewrite rules coming AND going. Idea
is to gracefully transition from the old and an interim-new to a permanent
new.)

If we did all the above with 301 codes, could we get the search indexing
resolved too?
