I just came to the same conclusion. So it looks like I'll have to catch up and do some RTFM on NetworkManager, FirewallD (which I've replaced by a handcrafted iptables script) and Chrony (replaced by ntpd).
Whatever your views on the first two, I strongly discourage the latter unless you have very specific functionality beyond Chrony's capability. The original ntpd has a very large attack surface. Plus Chrony has some nice additional features. Read more about Chrony here: https://opensource.com/article/18/12/manage-ntp-chrony
