That site red-zones my BS detector…

The one for the Ethernet controller is useless even for the seemingly
intended application.  Replacing the main crystal with a TCXO may or may
not help NTP performance depending on how much temperature effects are
currently dominating it.

You'd be much better off taking not of the injection point and then use
a GPS timing module that can produce a clean 19.2MHz clock.  I still
have that way down on my to-do list; although I was going to try and
inject the clock without actually desoldering the crystal so it would
still work even when the GPS module doesn't provide a clock.
