I agree with most of the concepts/philosophy of this. my questions are:

given that land is in the hands of the "few", how do we acquire Land using "time currency" ...?
where machinery or equipment is required how do we purchase it?
what about the jobs that nobody wants to do... the #DirtyJobs

The issue I have with Timebanking is that I often don't feel people value each other's time equally. Some skills require many years of deliberate study/practice (e.g: a medical doctor) and might be considered "more scarce" (and thus more valuable) than others...? ❓
