Question: Does it make sense to use a time-series database if you're not too sure that you can trust the "time" in the series? For example, let's say you're logging user's locations on a jogging app and using the system's clock as the time record (I understand this may not be ideal). Someone could log a run 2 years from now, for example.

It is usually a good idea to discard late writes. It should be possible to write data with some time-stamp skew but if skew is too large data should be discarded as erroneous. It's totally depends on an application so.
