It's not for the phase-noise, but for long-term stability, so that would be instead of cesium beams or fountains. Gas-cell standards cannot really solve that because the myriad of issues turn out an unknown device frequency shift, which altought can be stable is not suitable as standard. Rather, these devices could allow for much more affordable contribution to the second/TAI rate in international timekeeping.
