Centos 7.4, chrony 3.1

The edge router had crashed New Year's Day (which is a little disturbing) which I detected when I tried to gather information to answer your questions, so this was a great opportunity to recreate the conditions and gather the facts you requested.

After rebooting with the uplink disconnected, the only source active was my local GPS appliance. For those entries in my configuration that specify IP addresses, it was listed by "source" as not yet active; the rest of the entries were not there, as I reported before.

"activity" showed that four sources had unknown names.

When I plugged the uplink cable back in, after a few minutes I did "sources" and everything was there as I would expect. So it appears that chrony is doing its job.

Perhaps "sources" should add a line to its report when there are one or more sources with unknown IP addresses and to use "activity" to find out more information. Consider this a feature request of low priority.
