I imagine two parallel time infrastructures, one synchronised to TAI,
the other to "rubber" mean universal time. Stratum 0 devices for the
latter would probably have to use radio.
So, sure, there's an infrastructure cost for a sensible time of day...

I wonder how easily NTP could be generalised to transmit different
timescales without too much confusion? Using different UDP port numbers
might be one option.
