Hmm, docs [1] say it should be fromEpochMilliseconds(0). Let's try with that!

  Temporal.Instant.fromEpochMilliseconds(0).toPlainDate()
  Uncaught TypeError: Temporal.Instant.fromEpochMilliseconds(...).toPlainDate is not a function

I mean... Yes? That looks correct to me°, but it's been a minute since I worked with Temporal, so I'd run it myself and examine the output before I cut and paste.

Or have I missed your point?

°Missing a TZ assertion, but I don't remember what happens by default. Zulu time? I'd hope so, but that reinforces my point.
