In cases where the data itself doesn't carry the unit (or TZ in this case), I usually ask that the unit-less columns at least include the unit in the name. A TZ-less column is not that bad if it is suffixed "UTC", e.g. `ExecutionTimeUtc`.

There are probably real world cases where dropping the TZ/offset provides meaningful performance/storage savings, but it hasn't been the typical case in my current sector.
