Not sure I agree. First come first serve shouldn't be a thing, especially when this gives incentive to make an army of bots just to scout for nodes at the start of the world. There should be some time for everyone to scout the resources and their timers, so they can actually be contested at the start of the world.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy
