"If you looked at the Sun at the same time each day, from the same
place, would it appear at the same location in the sky? If the Earth
were not tilted, and if its orbit around the Sun were perfectly
circular, then, yes, it would."

Tell me analemmatic guy what the analemma looks like at the Equator
over the course of a year seeing you are intent on proposing axial
tilt as a component in the Equation of Time.

The variations in the Sun's position is a consequence of the orbital
path of the Earth and unless you are entirely stupid,I would not
recommend that you include the apparent arc of the Sun across the sky
as a factor in the Equation of Time,no figure 8,no nothing,in fact
take up birdwatching where you can be less destructive.

The Equation of Time is a global phenomena and has nothing whatsoever
to do with axial tilt but it has quite a lot to do with rotation and
the rate of change of the orbital orientation of the planet due to
orbital motion.

Now,the human devised creation of the 24 hour day may be of little
consequence to celestial sphere astrologers and their pseudo-dynamic
of a variable tilting Earth but it would be nice to see somebody who
can actually appreciate the brilliance of our ancestors in creating
the 24 hour day and applying it to axial rotation as a clock
correlation.
