Ubuntu server is great - I’ve been supporting applications on Ubuntu for over 10 years now and it is easy to maintain and update.
Set Ubuntu up absolutely minimally - no packages installed unless absolutely necessary. Certainly no X11 or GUI desktop. This way the number of security updates will be lowest. Instead of chrony , I use ntpd because of 30+ years experience under my belt with that. (As well as experience customizing I/O for esoteric refclocks like WWV audio).
