How many ppl? I don't like the feta/date combo, unless you're takling about a very mild french sheets milk feta (not the super briny sour supermarket feta). And why candied bacon? The date itself is sweet enough. Best stuffed dates I've ever eaten had a sliver of dried Spanish chorizo inside, then were bacon wrapped and broiled.

Maybe 60 people. May switch that to goat cheese instead. I tend to find that candid bacon with cane syrup brings it to a new level.

+1 to all of this.

Stuff with goat cheese instead of feta, or a combination of goat + ricotta. And you definitely need another salty / savory element than just the bacon on the outside to offset the sweetness of the dates. Spanish (cured) chorizo is perfect or some chopped up panchetta. 86 the cane syrup.
