Yes,....Noon would still be noon. The sun would still be at its highest at noon. The number attached to it would be determined by Greenwich Mean Time.
But....Businesses now could easily switch to Greenwich Mean Time for many tasks that require communication over time zones. Business person in New York setting up a conference call in Tokyo could simply arrange for it to be at “X” ( GMT)
GMT could possibly increase safety in some endeavors such as transportation, especially flying.

When I have a conference call with Japan, the numbers on the clock aren’t the problem. The fact that we are a half a world apart is the problem and one of us is trying to wake up and one of us is trying to settle down after dinner.

The actual flying is already handled in Zulu time. The ticketing is on local time.
GMT is already used for flying.
You might be surprised at how many people pass an entire day without worrying about the time 3000+ miles away. “High Noon” wouldn’t have much meaning if it occurred at 7:34 PM...
