So, hwclock must be getting synced. But I don't see where hwclock would be getting called from. grepping /lib/systemd/system finds nothing. hwclock itself comes from util-linux, which doesn't install anything there.
Is chrony itself supposed to keep the hw clock synced? From https://chrony.tuxfamily.org/manual.html#rtcsync-directive::
4.2.55 rtcsync
The rtcsync directive enables a mode where the system time is periodically copied to the real time clock (RTC).
That looks like it. The rtcsync directive exist in my chrony.conf. I didn't put there, so it must be in the default chrony.conf
So, the hardware clock seems to be getting synced, but it loses some seconds during a reboot.
This could quite well be a failing battery for the RTC on your motherboard. Just replace it. It is mot likely a CR2032
