Nobody is going to be having real-time Zoom calls between Earth and Mars so I'm not sure how in sync it needs to be.
It does make sense to at least keep the second the same since that is a critical base SI unit that affects lots of other things.
One interesting problem will be that high precision atomic clocks will run at a slightly different rate on the surface of Mars due to the lower gravitational potential, but this is easily solvable as it is on GPS satellites.

If a contract say "the payment must be received before March 1, 2123", then you have to worry about time syncing between the planets. How fast are fund transfers between planets?
