On the plus side, I would imagine there are relatively limited number of NTP servers (at least compared to DNS when DDoS amplification attacks first caught on)

Even a bunch of linux distributions were shipping vulnerable daemons until a few weeks ago. Anyone that's done '<package manager> install ntp' has the potential to be vulnerable, depending on configuration.
