Thanks Robie for the information, this is exactly the VMware guest customization updating in the next vSphere 8.0 update release which is "Using timedatectl command to set hardware clock since Ubuntu 23.10".

However as Ubuntu 24.04 is LTS, it's widely supported on vSphere 8.x line, without hwclock command, customers who are using the current vSphere 8.0 - 8.0U2 releases will encounter this issue.

Understood that timedatctl command shall be used with systemd, still if adding hwclock command back has no conflict, it will be great helpful for customers.
