I may not have understood all of your problem, but without a frequent connection to an accurate time-source, any system will have to rely on a local clock for periods of time. AFAICT, both chrony and ntp know how to determine the local oscillator drift and massage the clock such that the local clock remains fairly accurate. If you need a higher degree of accuracy without a more accurate external time source, you have to improve the local time source - temperature controlled xtal oscillator etc.
This massaging does seem to happen when ntp is running and after it has a server. But I am not convinced that anything is done when ntp starts and before it gets in contact with a server. And that is what chrony provides. A useful estimate of time before the first server is found.
