You don't need to. These are only suggestions, the final format needs
not matching any item in this list.

Not really. See `org-table-export' docstring, last paragraph.

You could try (untested):

    (defun my-format-timestamps (cell)
      (org-quote-csv-field
       (replace-regexp-in-string
        org-ts-regexp-both
        (lambda (m)
          (if (not org-display-custom-times) (substring m 1 -1)
            (let ((hours? (string-match-p "[0-9]+:[0-9]+" m)))
              (format-time-string (funcall (if hours? #'cdr #'car)
                                           org-time-stamp-custom-formats)
                                  (org-parse-time-string m)))))
        cell)))
