Was there a particular motivation for this format change and granularity?
And what do you think about changing it to use the YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss
format for consistency and having a direct human readable format here as well?

Karsten used to maintain onionoo protocol documentation/changelog and versions:
https://metrics.torproject.org/onionoo.html#versions
Is that and the 'version' field in onionoo no longer maintained?
(since it didn't change with the new fields)
Sure, we intend to maintain the version field, and since new fields have been added the protocol version should have been updated.
The reason I haven't updated it yet was that I wasn't very pleased that we had to add the overload_ratelimits [1] and overload_fd_exhausted [2] fields in the bandwidth document. We needed to expose these fields, but we also knew these didn't belong to this document. So the idea was to plan a bigger release with a little restructure of the onionoo internals and update the protocol version then.
Said this I will update both the timestamp and the protocol version for consistency.
