Hallo Wilfred!

 MK>> UTC is correct for this node.

 WvV> Is that node located in the 0 meridian timezone?

Nowhere near prime meridian but UTC is still the benchmark for syncing networks.  All the system's times here are still UTC which makes things vastly easier for sorting and other pruposes such as scheduling network events and the such.

 WvV> I'm guessing it's not, so that wouldn't be correct...

It is correct.  Saying otherwise would be wrong such as "TZUTC: 0000" instead of "TZUTC: +0000".  FTS-4008 is wrong, wrong, wrong and is the source of corruption for those east of prime meridian.  The RFC-3339 flag addresses this particular major flaw in FTS-4008 and covers ALL the datetime issues including the obsolete MSG datetime stamp.

So now that I've included TZUTC in all of the MSGs originating from here has it made any difference there in any meaningful way?

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
