I have googled a lot on this subject but have not found an easy way to
have RoR accept european date format (DD/MM/YYYY) in forms. I looked
at globalize plugin but that feels heavy implementation for me because
I do not need translations.

You can replace ParseDate.parsedate function which Rails use to parse
dates. Find article with implementation on my blog:

Iām not sure if this helps you, but you can define your own data
formats in environment.rb. For example:
ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(
:uk_full => ā%e %B %Yā
)
And then use the symbolic form with Date.to_s. E.g. in a view:
<%= @order.created_at.to_s :uk_full %>
