The only time using UTC breaks down is when any sort of time change gets involved.

If I say I want a reminder at 9am six months from now and you store that as UTC, a day light savings change will mean I get my reminder an hour early or late depending on where in the world I am

But wouldn't you calculate the time in the future in the right time zone and then store it back as UTC?
