Ok, great.

I just had an idea, if you only need to sync the RTC and not the
system clock, you could let chronyd do that continuously and not have
to do anything on shutdown. Disable the hwclock call (or whatever is
setting the RTC from the system clock on shutdown) and add the
rtcfile + rtcautotrim directives to chrony.conf. The RTC should be
kept close to the true time even if chronyd is slewing a large offset
in the system time. E.g.

rtcfile /var/lib/chrony/rtc
rtcautotrim 1
