Yes, adding ntpd or chrony is another package but they really aren’t that big or burdensome on modern embedded systems. If you can fit systemd you can probably fit a real time daemon, too. I could understand if you’re running in a system with single digit MB of ram or flash, maybe you can’t fit them, but those sizes systems today are quite rare.
