But an "hwclock --hctosys --noadjtime" would not read an existing valid
/etc/adjtime, would not correct past drift, and so would pass a wrong
time to the system. The --noadjtime option requires to be conditioned on
not existing, or perhaps on not readable file. Then it works OK.

However it may also seem sensible to not uselessly create the problem
from the beginning. And such zero adjfile is useless, isn't it?
