Indeed.

And what more fundamental symmetry could there be than one between time
and space?

In Science space and time can only be relational."Before" and "after"
are just local concepts just like "in front of" or "behind".

Also, in my opinion, to deny the existence of "Absolute Time" only to
let it in the back door by the name of "Universal Time" is shameless.

In Philosophy thinks might be different, but that's a discussion for
another place and another time - so to speak.
