I noticed at https://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public/blob/master/roles/common/tasks/ntp.yml that you're favoring systemd-timesyncd at RHEL/CentOS 8 over a full NTP implementation. If everything goes fine FEDORA-EPEL-2020-3fda065940 should land in EPEL 8 stable repository soon (currently: testing repository), which provides a systemd-timesyncd package. This package is of course not supported and not endorsed by Red Hat.

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah we're using chrony on CentOS because Red Hat disables systemd-timesyncd. So you're packaging a systemd-extras package that will include systemd-timesyncd? I'll probably still stick to chrony as it's recommended by Red Hat and did well in security audits.
