systemd-timesyncd does not use one server, have also fallback one (or use
round robin); surely 'mean/compensate' is better then fallback and round
robin, but...

...clearly i'm speaking of standalone server or non-HA, non-Ceph clusters!


Anyway, the statement:

>> WARN: systemd-timesyncd is not the best choice for time-keeping on servers, due to only applying updates on boot.

it is not true: i suggest to remove at least 'due to only applying updates on boot'.


(clearly, for future 'pve8to9' scripts... ;-)
