I had big problems in the past when ntpd decides that a time source is too unreliable and either drops it, or maybe even terminates itself because all time sources are too much off.
But localhost would surely always be available?
That's not the problem. If you start ntpd with only localhost, and if a time server gets available later whose time is different by more than 20 minutes, ntpd will terminate itself. (To be more precise: the difference must be as large for some polls, 8 IIRC, to get a full reach shift register of 0377.
