Why Laser "Guns"?
Older Sci-Fi had different standards. We don't have any battery close enough energy density and stability to be of practical use, even on a backpack form factor. Of course, we can use a handwavium battery, and use large lens to make this transgression less flagrant.

Why would it be unfortunate for a day length to vary in a planet; other than that Java API developers need to work a few hours more?
For programmers and sysadmins is unfortunate because they need to sync systems across the world and this can be disruptive, like on the link bellow. The main problem is the lack of a automate way to calculate, because this means that the systems need to be manually configured to add this leap second every time it happens. But as you worded the question is asking "besides this informational era problem". blog.cloudflare.com/…

Where should I place mountains in this world map?
Eurasian and North America plates encounter in Siberia, as Arabian plate with Eurasian. What makes Himalaya unique is the direction the plates are moving. As they are clashing, they make mountains.

But these accidents are not related or predictable by the land/water distribution. By the map OP posted there are none pointing the geological structure of the planet. So, I suggested to make this structure and after this try to place the mountains,
