Do we need to install a time sync service on the droplets or is the hardware clock somehow synced? Using CentOS if that’s significant.

Yes the clock in your VM will drift. Install ntpd as @eldin suggested and you are all set.
So, droplet clocks will drift?
Type the following yum command to install ntp
Turn on service, enter:
Synchronize the system clock with 0.pool.ntp.org server
Start the Deamon
If it works click that hearth to show me some love :-)
