The * refclock * directive is for configuring reference clocks such as
PPS lines or even atomic clocks. These are much more precise than
RTC. They form the stratum 0 of the NTP network. I don't think you can
use a RTC as stratum 0.
Out of curiosity, which services have a hard dependency on timesyncd?
Remember that you can override any system provided units by placing
your replacements in /etc/systemd.
