Comment (by Otto42):

 The need for WordPress to set the default timezone to UTC has existed for
 many years. This is not new behavior in that respect. What's new is that
 with a lot of the PHP 4 (literally) legacy code removed, then WordPress
 relies on this to be the case even more now.

 So, if you're setting the default timezone, you will have different issues
 now than you did before, but you already would have had issues before. Not
 setting the default timezone has already been the recommended behavior for
 plugins and other addons for many years.
