I am curious why you would only go to Server 2008 and not 2008 R2? If you are

You have to run the schema upgrade, but nothing says that you ever have to bump

I've done this for a number of customers, with no ill effect.

They can be, yes. As has already been mentioned, the best solution is
to use the standard Windows time synchronization throughout the domain,
and have the PDC emulator sync to an external source. IME that protects
you from drift pretty well.

You should point the DC to an external time source just as a matter of
best practice. I'll echo my colleagues here who use pool.ntp.org. We
set all of our clients (companies, I mean) up to sync to that and it
works beautifully. Everything stays nice and tight and in sync.

While for authentication purposes it is necessary to be in sync and
consistent with your own domain, it can be useful to be somewhat in
sync with the rest of the world. Messaging, cell phones, etc being
close enough to the same prevents questions like, why is my
workstation 4 minutes off.

Not to mention, setting this up is almost trivial - at the PDC you type one
command line and you're done. The hardest part might be creating a rule to
allow the NTP protocol out through your firewall.
