That missing script is /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/chrony.sh. It all should
work out of the box. I maintain the chrony package in RHEL/CentOS. :)
Oh wow, that's good to hear! Do you then know which package I need to install to get chrony.sh? dhclient itself is already installed, but the script is not present. I tried "dnf provides chrony.sh", but no package was found.
In any case, thank you for all the information provided.

I am working on this on CentOS 8, and am using Network Manager. I see that NM has a chrony script (/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/20-chrony) which, when the network goes up or down, toggles the on/offline status of chrony. I also see that it has a script (11-dhclient) looks to see if there are scripts in /etc/dhclient.d, and runs them. One of the scripts it looks for is one for chrony. Unfortunately, that directory doesn't exist, much less the script itself.

I wouldn't expect that to matter. NetworkManager should make its own
DHCP request.
