If you are not replaceable because you do a ton of tasks other people can’t do, especially if you’re salaried, then it seems pretty fair to make your own time for things.
There are definitely other corners you shouldn’t cut when in that type of position, but being allowed to manage your own time is not one of them.
But working less is the same as being paid more per hour, and I’d much rather work less than have a bit more money? Finding a job that is nominally 30 hours/week while paying as much as my current one would be quite hard.
What are you, the punctuality police?

Managing your time is one thing. Doing the job of multiple people is foolish and should get a raise. If you are mission critical, get paid for it.
If you’re that mission critical, you’ll get the raise and still won’t have any dramas about punctuality.
