Indeed. I installed it, timesync is enabled, removed ntp, and indeed after about a 20m suspend, once resumed time syncs up again. Since I've not noticed any adverse effects so far, I'll stick with this solution. Thanks!

Automatically from the Internet". However, time never does catch up. I can trigger a catch up by toggling the datetime indicator to "Manually", wait a little bit, then toggle back to "Automatically from the Internet". I may have to do this a couple of times to fix the time. This tells me that it's not a problem with the VM environment specifically, but a problem with coordinating time over the internet.
