Life on earth depends on day and night cycles. This would cause an environmental disaster. So many animals would get fucked up.

Lets be real, this isn’t the problem.
These aren’t planned to block out the sun everywhere. They’re planned to light up specific small regions.
There are real problems like the potential for mishaps blinding pilots (hopefully only temporarily), ruining earth based astronomy, adding to space waste, and more, but the fear of blocking out the sun would only be a real one if they had an amount of mirror coverage its hard to imagine.
