Did anyone ever get the Shadow Impact Analysis task to work on real data?

I'm using the ppkx from here: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=7d4ab07ef8014be28e520e60acb14108

The example works with the sample data, however when I try to use my own data (situated in central Europe) it keeps failing in myriads of ways.

Unless I use WGS84, the sun point creation step throws an extent error no matter how large I set the extent ("default" doesn't work either, obviously). When I transform all my data into WGS84, at least the sun points are created, but that's as far as it gets. The second step fails with a "value required" error, but there is nothing left in the parameter panel to enter. The terrain isn't required (example runs with and without it).

I even tried shoving my data into the example scene, but that didn't help either. The tasks suggest they work everywhere, but do they actually only work for that specific spot?

No luck for me either.
