Also, is this necessary? Can't chronyd just fail to sync NTP until it
works? There's value to an NTP daemon running even if it lacks
upstream sync sources for a while.

I'm also generally skeptical of After= without a corresponding
Requires= entry because it only affects the ordering if the other unit
is already present in the working set of services then being started.
If something's required to happen before a unit, you need both.
