Fedora even uses btrfs, so who cares. :-)
The interesting point is that RHEL switched to chrony for RHEL 7.

Also, I want to add that chrony is not just better as a client, but also 
as a NTP server.
https://engineering.fb.com/2020/03/18/production-engineering/ntp-service/
offers quite some insights.

I am not sure that this would be practical since they cannot share the 
same configuration.
I have no objections if somebody wants to work on packaging ntpsec, but 
I do not think that either ntp or ntpsec should be promoted over chrony 
nowadays.
