I must admit CVE-2020-13777 [1] has cooled me down a lot about GnuTLS.
OpenSSL 3.0 (currently in alpha stage) will use the Apache License 2.0 which
isn’t compatible with the GPLv2. Sigh, what a mess!
Remember GPL3 is not compatible with GPL2.

If I understand it correctly (and I don't really know much about TLS),
chrony is not impacted as it doesn't support resuming TLS sessions. In
the context of NTS that doesn't look like a useful feature.
Even if there wasn't the licensing issue, I'm not sure if we would
be better off with openssl.
Have a look at their CVE lists:
