If you change from ntp keep in mind that we need ntpdate for the settime skript which is used by unbound to syncronize the time with a given IP address if the time is incorrect and DNS not working becasue the wrong time breaks DNSSec. This is common on system without RTC Battery.

Not sure if chrony can handle this at all.

It can, with the somewhat odd syntax

chronyd -q 'server 162.159.200.1 iburst'

That is effectively equivalent to

ntpdate 162.159.200.1
