What would cause more problems would be a drift file that was present, but read-only, as ntpd would skip its frequency calibration and trust the frozen value in that file, then suffer wild swings as it begins to discover the value was wildly wrong.
No worries, the RO partition is only for storing some scripts, ntp.drift is NOT on read only partition and it's NOT amended by anything but ntpd.
