In my opinion you fall in the case of disciplining with holdover... this is
more like a disciplined oscillator (like a GPSDO) problem than a PLL.

It is indeed very similar, However, a second of hold-over isn't all that hard, but one has to be careful to have sufficient of frequency resolution in the DAC (which can be interpolating). There are some tricks of trades to be done to achieve good hold-over performance on the short term.

ADEV isn't a very good way of characterizing this type of behaviour, but it could be plotted as well.

MTIE is a better tool, as this is a systematic effect, which MTIE is designed to model.

However, there is no such thing as spending quality time glaring on the TE of the behaviour.
