It works fine for me with everything moved into cron.
Here's my /etc/crontab:
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/
# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly/
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily/
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly/
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly/
My /etc/anacrontab is empty (because I copied /dev/null to
it), and my /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron file is also
empty for the same reason.
This removes everything from anacron and runs things
at actually predictable times on cron.
You might ask, "Why not just remove anacron?". This
totally absurd nonsense happens when you try that:
[root@zooty ~]# dnf erase cronie-anacron

Why cronie depends on anacron, I have no idea, and I suspect all the
other things being removed are because of cronie, but the only real
alternative is to beat anacron with a big enough hammer. It can't
be removed.
