Upgraded 1 of 2 of my routers. Dirty upgrade, but uninstalled NTPmerlin just before. No issues noticed so far.
The built-in ntpd does not allow for the same level of customisation as the entware package, plus you'll lack the graphs from ntpmerlin!woah.
Not exactly sure what "proper ntpd implementation" means, but having followed ntpmerlin and kvic's version before it, I'm pretty sure that's the gold standard.
I think @Jack Yaz 's script lets me input more than 2 ntp servers for redundancy. (4-5 if memory serves...maybe more)
in the (hopefully unlikely) event something fairly catastrophic happens, the likelihood of having a reliable time to reference to drops considerably in this case:
most publicly-accessible timeservers are stratum 2, but they commonly access the same stratum 1 servers for their reference.
Suggesting referencing pools invites the possibility for more significant jitter and the resultant offset, because geography/consensus. I'm of a mind that building a constellation of reference clocks to make sure I have a reliable and redundant stream from a variety of stratum 1 servers is probably better, even with rollover times.

Note that you will get some redundant clock syncing, since both the firmware's ntpd and the Entware one will sync the same clock.
I can probably kill the firmware ntp like we do now (crudely via killall ntp)I haven't tried the alpha but is it possible to prevent the redundant syncing by the firmware ntpd client, maybe killing it using a script?
I think I'll continue using ntpMerlin due to its "redirect of all NTP traffic to ntpMerlin" feature. Or is this also included in the FW ntpd server implementation / are you planning to include it?
BTW many thanks for always keeping improving your great firmware!

That means that users will have to make choices. It's good we're having this discussion, then.The built-in ntpd does not allow for the same level of customisation as the entware package, plus you'll lack the graphs from ntpmerlin!
try rebooting and see if it still works fineflashed now to AC-3200, DNSSEC enabled, DNS over TLS enabled to Cloudflare, all is working fine even with DNS cache settings ...
Seems that with DNSSEC enabled on a reboot the router will not get a time update. Set to just DoT with CF resolvers. Reboot worked fine. Suspect an issue with a stubby.yml setting. Stay tuned...try rebooting and see if it still works fine

check your IPV6 log page under system log and make sure it is establishing connection there first.In a prior alpha IPv6 appeared disabled.
In 384.11_alpha2-g2603c17197 IPv6 looks fine from the web GUI and I cannot find errors in syslog, but I do not have IPv6 from an external point of view. For example, https://browserleaks.com/ip and http://test-ipv6.comcast.net do not report an IPv6 address and seem to take a while to complete as if dropped packets are involved.
