2023 July 4 clear to all literate in English.
4 July 2023 clear, but looks backward to anyone that didn't grow up with it.
July 4, 2023 unambiguous, but has mixed order, I wouldn't call it more clear than any of the above. What you are used to has nothing to do with inherent clarity. However it is far clearer than the absurdly common 04/07/23. And the Brits don't get off claiming 01/02/03 is clear because of consistant ordering; it is still abiguous and it is extra work to sort a list of dates. And yy-mm-dd won't sort properly for lists of dates that span century boundaries.
