If you define the problem as the limitations of system clock based on a
32-bit representation of seconds relative to the epoch, then the answer
is "yes." The Linux kernel uses a 64-bit clock on 64-bit systems.
Any given application may store dates in a format of its own choosing,
though, so its possible that applications running on CentOS 7 could
still have a problem.
It's probably easier and faster to simply set the system clock of a test
host to the year 2040 and test the system and its applications than it
is to ask for opinions, though.
