Standardising on EST is fine; it's just UTC plus a constant. If they flipped between EST and EDT, now that'd be insane.
Yes as long as the rules are known, but it's really just better to do things sanely and leave no margin of doubt.
Yep, case in point flipping between EST and EDT may be "insane" but that's the default for systemd-timesyncd. So now you have to be 100% certain that it's disabled on your servers, and on the remote hosts interacting with them.
Best I've seen is a process scheduled on UK local time (including hour changes) running on a server that maintains Eastern local (including hour changes) but the process logs in EST ( and does not move with the hour)
