Is the correct date format for pg_dump
        <filename>-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).sql
or
        <filename>-YYYY-MM-DD.sql
or something else?


If you are doing a custom format dump using .sql as the extension is objectively wrong.  it is correct if you are doing an sql dump, but those are generally best avoided.
