I have bookworm running on two systems, one is a 2Gb Pi 4B and the
other is an ancient Beaglebone Black.  Both show the right time
without any intervention from me.  I checked and the Pi 4B is running
systemd-timesyncd.  ...., and the BBB is also running systemd-timesyncd.
 

All I know is that I powered the pi4B off for around 15 hours, and when I rebooted it, it had an incorrect clock for at least two hours after reboot.
That is unacceptable for an 'out of the box' OS install.
  systemd-timesyncd may be fine, but whatever it was supposed to do, it wasn't doing it.
And none of this is well documented. As someone remarked about CMAKE, "software that cannot be used because *no one knows how it works*, is useless"
