Reason is the timing of this suggestion is quite late, Maybe it would be better for Jan, because right now this suggestion cannot be applied on Dec due to the staff are already planning for Dec Events on this same schedule.
Now, if we remove the previous factor i would say, and this may sound selfish a bit, But the suggested schedule fits me more, and it might fit others too, but at the same time The weekends is a good option aswell.
You have approached the suggestion with a good argument, that people wouldn't like to spend their weekends on Garry's mod behind a screen, but also due to life being harsh as fuck, Weekdays for people who are employed will be a bit much too.
Overall, for the sake of FL return and if we look at Garry's mod statistics, during Weekdays 23rd of Nov 2024 to 2nd of Dec 2024, the peak amount of player reached 35K+ at 24 of November, which is a Sunday in most countries (If not all) a weekend day, but after that it starts going down during weekdays and increases again in weekends.

So i say for the sake of increasing FL popularity, To keep the server on during weekends, But maybe for the sake of the current community keep it working during weekdays, That is why i cannot decide..
Weekend Should very much stay but what i am saying is for the server to be up For 4 days then down for 3? why for the whole week is there no incentive to play why wait from Monday to Thursday to play, Same with employment week days the same argument it would be nice to come home or finish work and be able to log on I get the server still needs down time for whatever reasons but I think up 4 days down 3 days an extra day up like Maybe a Wednesday or a Tuesday would be ideal.
I dont think the timing is too late, It is Christmas people go off work/school for the Christmas break not all but certainly quite a lot.
