I don't want to argue about which use case is more important, but it's
normal for NTP servers to receive requests at much higher rates than
that. In some countries, public servers get hundreds of thousands of
packets per second. A server in a local network may have clients
polling 128 times per second each.

Anyway, if anyone is still interested in finding out the cause of
the regression, there is a thing I forgot to mention for the
reproducer using ntpperf. chronyd needs to be configured with a larger
clientloglimit (e.g. clientloglimit 100000000), otherwise it won't be
able to respond to the large number of clients in interleaved mode
with a HW TX timestamp. The chronyc serverstats report would show
that. It should look like the outputs I posted here before.
