You can get around that by starting with a few reasonable amputations. aka speed less than 2,000 MPH Acceleration under 3g within 40miles of surface etc. And then refining your estimated local time based on the reasonable solutions and then repeating this a few times with several data points to get a better estimate for location, velocity, clock drift, and time. This tends to works quickly because your location and velocity are fairly constrained and the satellites are moving very quickly. As for a ground station, the velocity is vary constrained and which makes all of this a lot faster and more accurate.
Don’t forget we have a lot more CPU to throw at these problems than they did in 1980.
