We use an older model of https://www.microsemi.com/product-directory/enterprise-network-time-servers/4117-syncserver-s600 with rubidium oscillator. Not cheap, but hardened and extremely accurate.

On one occasion, due to bad firmware or a configuration issue, I have
seen GPS stratum 1 diverge from NTP.  It was somewhat eye brow raising
to the company.  My NTP monitored servers were shown to be diverging

way around.
