So the fix to using UTC for computers and crons that only care about the local time zone is to reimplement time checking?

If youre just gonna run it every hour, you might as well while(1){ check time; do stuff; sleep 1 hour;} now there's one less dependency?

It depends on that never dying.
You also depend on cron never having a bug, and you also depend on crons working as intended, unless you also have some extra system logging your cron jobs.
