The nice thing about StringFormat is that it allows you to specify the format of the output. Here is a converter I use that allows you to specify the format.

public sealed class DateTimeToStringConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public static readonly DependencyProperty FormatProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register(nameof(Format), typeof(bool), typeof(DateTimeToStringConverter), new PropertyMetadata("G"));

    public string Format { get; set; }

    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
    {
        if (value is DateTime dateTime && value != null)
        {
            return dateTime.ToString(Format);
        }

        return null;
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
    {
        return DateTime.ParseExact(value.ToString(), Format, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
    }
}
