Working fewer hours would make us more productive

Laws are pretty important, actually. IIRC, in Slovenia, if you don't work 40 hour weeks, you'll have issues with retirement (e.g. you'll have to retire later, or your pension would be smaller (regardless of your salary)). I'm assuming there are similar issues with health/social insurance.

I think I covered these issues in my first point: you can do that, it's allowed, but it's just not comfortable to deviate from the norm right now.

If by "comfortable" you mean "unprofitable" (i.e. you're earning disproportionately less money, despite being equally or more productive), then yes.
