Datamash now supports "--output-delimiter=X", implemented here:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/datamash.git/commit/?id=7a0e5d32

A test snapshot with this feature is available here:
 https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/datamash/datamash-1.2.4-fd49.tar.gz
Please note it is not an official release,
and things could still change before the next version.
