No idea if it will work, but you could put the IP address in instead of

for your servers-- that way no dns is needed.
Found the URL:
http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/StratumTwoTimeServers
In that list of servers, there is a field for each NTP time provider,
"Use DNS". Many of the public servers in this table require that DNS be
used with their service. Here is one entry from the table:
ServerStratum StratumTwo
CountryCode US NV
Hostname time2.nv.skyfiberinternet.com
IP Address 162.210.111.4
IPv6 Address
UseDNS Yes
PoolMember No
ServerLocation Reno, Nevada, USA
A spot check shows that the owners of the servers want you to use DNS.
Their server, their rules.
That means the Rules of Engagement makes how chronyd(8) currently
handles NXDOMAIN (or no resolver) a bug.
