If the client is using a long polling interval, why would long NTS
reinitialization be a problem?

A missed NTP packet or client dropping a bad sample is a common
occurence. For instance, the clock filter in ntpd can drop up to 7
consecutive samples. A couple of samples dropped due to invalid
authentication after the server refreshes its seed shouldn't be a big
deal.
