Well, if, due to some bug in chrony or bad configuration, chrony dies, then it
is liable to die again and again and again. Having a program do that is not a
good idea. Rather the sysadmin needs to fix things. Remember that the local
clock is still running, so that time is not a complete disaster. 
If you really wanted to you could have a cron job run every minute, and if
chrony is not running, then restart it (and send the sysadmin an email saying
it had happened).
