There is a command-line option for chronyd which runs once, sets the time and exits.
# chronyd -q
I run chrony as a daemon on all my systems. One system is a server to everything else that is internal. The server is the only one that goes outside. It works well. The initial setup is basically a one-time deal. After that it can be pretty much ignored.
