Because of that, offgrid users will not be able to change the date and time; unless they do a reboot after making the change.
Complaint came via Islam; helpscout #1647. Verified by Matthijs on both v2.18~1 and v2.22.

Note that I dont know if and why it was or is a good idea to use connman for changing the clock(s).
The only other way that the clocks are changed is by ntp, via connman. And there we have a patch on ntp.c (only) that syncs the sysclock to the hwclock upon change.
