Yes and no.

I absolutely hate capitalism.

But i also hate mondays so bad i have gone out of my way to find a work structure allowing me to skip mondays every week.

Now Tuesday is my monday and while i dont hate Tuesday itself and i no longer hate the day that used to be monday i do hate the Monday part of my Tuesday because capitalism is still dictating my work hours and i hate it.

would the popular conception of mondays, ie. the start of an oppressive five day work week still exist if capitalism is abolished?

I guess it depends on what alternatives are sprung up in its place.

I can only speak for myself that i am very motivated to work for the sake of growing humanity as long as my primary needs are unconditionally met.

The work week would be gone for me and personal/work projects would blend more into one. There will be weeks where i am working around the clock to Finnish a project because i am passionate about them. And weeks where i just lay in bed because i feel off.

Each according to their needs and abilities. The best coworker is a motivated and mentally healthy one.

If capitalism is abolished, we're most likely going to be forced back to Feudalism. Mondays in Feudalism last 12+ hours and the work week continues until Saturday night.
