It could be. The "Forward time jump detected!" means the clock has
jumped without chronyd knowing, as it would if the system call which
sets the RTC was blocked for more than 10 seconds.

The messages about trimming RTC every minute or so suggest there is
something wrong with the RTC in any case.

Try it again without the rtcfile directive in chrony.conf. That will
disable all RTC reading and trimming. If that works, it could be a
problem with the RTC kernel driver.
