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.

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.
