This was the first thought that came to my mind on seeing this post.
For starters, basicaly most (all?) land based plants are fucked, they can no longer internally hydrate, also water in soil behaves totally differently, so …yeah.
(oh on that note, snap your fingers and water has 0 surface tension? time for a lot of landslides/sinkholes in humid areas)
Then you’ve got beings with active circulatory systems, who… may to some extent be able to live, but lots of pulmonary / circulatory problems are gonna happen.
I guess maybe totally waterborne life could survive, maybe… but 0 surface tension of water probably changes how salinity works…
If we want to go to extremes, zero surface tension means no nucleation barrier for critical bubbles. In practice, this implies that liquid water is unstable, and will spontaneously vaporise at all conditions.

Yeah, this would be very bad, lol.

So yeah, all life ends pretty quickly.
Wow, that’s much worse lol!
