I think that because of the way the load will be distributed across time and space, that the vast majority of vendors who use well-behaved NTP clients should be allowed as part of the rules of engagement to use pool.ntp.org without even asking.
It's the boneheaded clients that request at the top of every hour, or that start Launching requests at insane rates on certain return codes, that are the problem children. These still exist but aren't quite as bad as a few years ago IME. Tim.
