systemd-timesyncd is an SNTP client; that's what an SNTP client does. For a lot of use cases, desktops and even most servers, it's perfectly fine and a whole lot less complex. I understand it's not a good fit in some cases; our standard server config disables all other NTP clients, systemd-timesyncd included, in favor of Chrony because we are concerned about highly accurate system clocks and slewing. Interestingly, it appears that systemd has some sort of provisions for this. The `timedatectl` command still works and reports that NTP is enabled and synchronized.
