Ideally, yes.
But man timedatectl already warns of set-local-rtc 1 and offers no
ways to prevent what is described in
  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/rtc.html
  "if the kernel time is synchronized with an external source,
   the kernel will write the time back to the CMOS clock every
   11 minutes."

man 4 rtc does not offer more than man timedatectl.


Have a nice day :)
