Isn't this what systemd-timesyncd is for?

That actually acts too late, and depends on a network. It fails to
help if the network is down at boot, unless you make all the services
block until the network is up.
It also fails if named doesn't work, and named doesn't work if the
clock is horribly out. So now you have a catch-22. Named depends on a
clock, and the clock depends on working DNS.
I think timesyncd is supposed to replace chronyd.
