They cannot be: org-time-stamp-inactive uses the minibuffer, and calling
a function that uses the minibuffer *from* the minibuffer (as
org-set-property would do) make emacs unhappy. You might be able to get
away with a simpler function that inserts e.g. the current timestamp
without asking the user any questions, but you cannot have the full
generality of C-c !
