ntpd _never_ "syncs to [a] clock".
ntpd _can_ be configured to use an Undisciplined Local Clock driver
which allows it to pretend to be synced to a time source. In that case
ntpd just serves time from the freewheeling system clock.

If time is important to their application they should budget for an
appropriate time reference (e.g. GPS, HF radio, Rb Oscillator, etc.).
