You could avoid the need to sleep by setting the threshold and limit
for the future clock updates, e.g. "chronyc makestep 0.1 3".

If you can detect network going down and up, you could rely on the
iburst option which should activate after switching the sources from
the offline to online state. That's what the NetworkManager dispatcher
scripts do on Linux.

There are many systems with iburst in default configuration. If some
server operator doesn't like that, their only option would be remove
the server from the pool. Rate limiting delays the clock update, so
that's a good reason to not use a fixed sleep.
