Reducing the timer is definitely not a good idea! If the game were 1v1, then a shorter timer could be acceptable for those who enjoy fast-paced gameplay, but this is 1v1v1v1. You might come up with a plan, but in 3 turns, your opponents can completely change everything, and you'll need some time to adjust!
16:8:1 is a proven, comfortable timer!
