I think it would be equally easy to coordinate across timezones. Nobody is likely to ask about "solar noon," they're just going to ask about the time of the things they're trying to coordinate.

"Let's meet for lunch when you get in town!"

"Great! When do you guys have lunch?"

"Around 16:00."

"Oh, ok. That's around dinner time for me."

Easy-peasy. The biggest reason it seems weird to us is that we are used to the current way. There's no reason our brains couldn't get used to (for instance) waking up at 01:00 and going to bed at 17:00 if that was the normal we had all grown up with.

Though, that said, there was someone on Lemmy a few months ago who absolutely lost their mind at the idea and verbally abused me about the very concept, so you know... your mileage may vary.
