Time moves at a different speed due to the moon’s reduced gravity. It’s not just the length of a day.

  I’d assume that’s already a bigger problem for satellites in geostationary orbit then?

    Yes, but at least there they still use “Earth time”, just slowed down. For the moon it gets a little bit more complicated I guess.
