nixos equivalent of timed is timesyncd, and they have a guard on whether to enable the ntp client by default: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/527be1432109cfaf305987865bc17cc908e8e77a/nixos/modules/system/boot/timesyncd.nix#L14
do we need such a guard in nix-darwin or we just set it to true like this?

We should keep it enabled by default, since that's the default behavior on MacOS out of the box.
also following the NixOS module pattern adding the `networking.timeServers` option

following the NixOS module
networking.timeServersknobwith this, we can make the macOS default timed to be mutually exclusive with other ntp clients like #1523
