On the one hand I agree. On the other hand the discrepancy to solar time is growing quadratically due to tidal friction of the earth with the moon, which is prone to create interesting issues some centuries down the line.

The projections I've seen estimate that the drift would reach about 1 hour in a millenia (i.e. around year 3000), ± few centuries. And I don't even know if 1 hour difference really would be that significant, these days already some regions have their local time differ from solar time by over an hour (e.g. Argentina, Spain, large parts of China) because of timezone shenanigans.
By then, hopefully civilization won't be bound to just the Earth.
And adopted the decimal calendar[0] which hopefully has fixed all the issues with current calendar.

> I believe this would be more than outweighed by the increased productivity of fewer weekends and longer periods of contiguous work between them.
I don't think that's how productivity works
As a peon I measure my productivity by the ratio of my free time to the actual work I do.
