Not a problem if chronyd is configured to not touch the system clock,
only serve time from it. That would mean no sources specified in the
config, or use the -x option.
But I think you would need to remove the conflict between the two
services from their systemd unit files and in that case you might just
as well disable timesyncd and run chronyd as a client.
Generally, it's better to avoid timesyncd:
