This wouldn't fix anything, because people would still have to convert UTC to their local time before agreeing to anything, and they'd make the same mistakes in that process ("Shit, are we +7 or +8 right now?")

Not so much, because they'd be more aware of their UTC offset. I usually get people not even knowing that their timezone changes with DST.
