chrony, mdadm and dmraid are all necessary parts of a workstation
setup.

The first one because some virtualisation systems (windows 10 Hyper-V
for example) are braindamaged and will wake up VMs (including GNOME
VMs) with a system clock stuck at the time the VM was frozen. So you
better have a clock-skewing ntp client running in all your vms. chrony
is the best existing one right now IIRC (kuddo to chrony devs, they
passed their security audits with style)

The others because raid does exist on workstations, and the dmraid guys
never got around to finish replicating all the mdadm functionnalities
(pretty much like networkd stopped at integrating bonding, and never
bothered to do teaming, for example).

chrond, at, udev settle… that's all lack or good proeminent systemd
documentation, that causes third party projects to kludge, and gave up
on things they do not understand.
