> What is wrong with Gregorian-only for non-user-facing date handling?

Because the Gregorian calendar makes a lot of assumptions that isn't really the case. Think along the lines of days that don't start at midnight. So if you want to do date-calculations, then you have to work in the same calendar as is user-facing, or you are almost guaranteed to get sporadically wrong results.
