Consequence of warp speed, even long hours at impulse cause some discrepancy. They time sync with federation beacons after being out of touch for a while.
Isn’t that what the stardate is for? Since it seems unlikely humans would adopt a wildly confusing system that also doesn’t seem to be related in any way to earth or its culture.

It was Picard performing King Lear for Q on a planet with a 6 hour day.
There was a “Men In Black” cartoon. One of the funniest episodes was that J couldn’t adapt himself to MIB’s 37 hour long day.
