Not really. I just use a different system for skip functions.

Try the following adjusted version:

(defun org-agenda-skip-before-SHOWFROMDATE-property ()
  "Skip agenda item if :SHOWFROMDATE: property is set and the day is before it"
  (when-let* ((showfromdate (if (bound-and-true-p org-ql--current-element)
                                (org-element-property :SHOWFROMDATE (org-element-lineage org-ql--current-element '(headline) t))
                              (org-entry-get (point) "SHOWFROMDATE")))
              (showfromdate (unless (seq-empty-p showfromdate) (ts-parse-org showfromdate)))
	      (currenttime (ts-now)))
    (when (ts< currenttime showfromdate)
      (or (outline-next-heading) (point-max)))))

(Note that the code requires ts library installed).
