I don't see how I can do that.

Of course, but that is very hard to ascertain with dependency-based
booting.  Chrony requires $remote_fs so it's starting fairly late.  I
suppose I could put in a bunch of "X-Start-Before" lines, but I'd have
to know what all could be adversely affected and booting would be
slowed.

Well, it's a reason.  But note that such backward stepping would only
happen when your clock is really screwed up.
