I have a new puppet client whose cert registration fails due to client local time preceeding the puppet master CA certificate "valid from" date by at least a year. Newly registered client system is used for stress testing, so its date can not be changed forward. Any workarounds available for such a scenario?

Puppet requires that the master and the agent system times are in sync. Please check https://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/latest/trouble_comms.html about halfway down the page. You should be able to get the times synced up by running ntpdate on the puppet agent system before your first puppet run.
