As I understand it, it's a feature, not a bug. From
systemd-timesyncd(8):
The systemd-timesyncd service implements SNTP only. This minimalistic
service will step the system clock for large offsets or slowly adjust
it for smaller deltas. Complex use cases that require full NTP support
(and where SNTP is not sufficient) are not covered by
systemd-timesyncd.
