> Can you explain why this is actually a problem please?
I guess that Ubuntu systems with ntp installed would boot a little
faster if ntp was not doing useless work by getting started before the
network is fully up.
> Won't timesyncd suffice on a desktop that uses NetworkManager now?
Perhaps, but timesyncd is not activated by default. I had to type this
command to activate it:
# timedatectl set-ntp true
While timesyncd is probably a fine alternative to ntp, this is a bug in
ntp and Ubuntu would be a better system with this bug fixed (or ntp
removed and timesyncd activated by default).

the error message?
Time is fine on my system, but the noise of the error messages is a
problem in itself.

Title:
systemd: ntpdate is started too soon (before the network)
Status in ntp package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Here is what I see in journalctl: ntpdate cannot do DNS resolution
because NetworkManager has not finished configuring the network
interface.
