According to mw:Wikibase/DataModel#Dates and times, there are already most requirements for timezone support contained in the data model. What prevents us from just activating it? Sure, there will be some GUI changes necessary to enable HH:MM:SS modifications, and to show a timezone selector, but it does not appear too complex to find something there. The highest precision should be seconds (precision=14) to my opinion, as already defined in the data model.
An alternative approach with more required changes could be to save the timezone as URIs instead of “diff minutes to UTC”, akin to the calendarmodel approach. I am not sure whether that would really have advantages, though; maybe display would be easier, since times could be witten as “26 April 2018, 13:43:51 (MESZ / UTC+2)”, rather than “26 April 2018, 13:43:51 (UTC+2)”.
