That will probably require directly connected NICs with HW
timestamping and/or each machine having a PPS refclock.

That's most likely due to a smaller root dispersion reported by the
chronyd server. ntpd by default increases the dispersion by 15 ppm.
In chronyd it depends on collected statistics and it is usually
smaller than 15 ppm. The minimum dispersion rate can be configured
with the maxclockerror option.
