Are there any breaking changes associated with this, like CSS that may start overriding where it previously wasn't?

I can't think of any. Devs shouldn't be able to tell the difference with these changes even if they are customizing the primary variables themselves.

The month/year picker was displaying selected values in the datetime's color (for example, red for color="danger"), but the time picker was ignoring this and showing selected values in primary color instead, creating an inconsistent experience on md. This was wrong because the datetime's color prop should control all picker text colors uniformly.
