I'd like to let you all know that I don't think the problem is as
widespread as I originally thought.

After tens of restarts of ntpd processes I've never experienced any
problem synchronizing. No more hung 'ntpd -q' processes either. I
suspect the latter was a consequence of my server having problems
synchronizing.
