Hello, I have some results.

The /etc/unbound/local.d/timeouts (+unbound restart) did not completely 
resolve NTP related lookup failures.  It "seemed" to prevent complete 
failure, but the first of two lookups, to different pool aliases, did fail.

I retained the "timeouts" and changed from TLS to TCP, and haven't seen 
any lookup failures.

Tomorrow, I will experiment using "timeouts" and UDP.  After a day or 
so, I'll try removing the "timeouts" and repeat the TCP and UDP tests.

Thank you!
