That is simply not true, on ARM systems without an RTC having a
wrong date (of by a couple of years) is a big problem. Once the
date is of far enough (in either direction) SSL certificate
checks start to fail. And once that happens a lot of things break
including "dnf update"
Incorrect system time and sudden jumps in the system time (which can
happen if the time is set wrong during install and corrected by NTP
after install) can also cause issues with DHCP and Kerberos.
