Are there replacements for the old services built in to xinetd?  It's a
surprise, but there are still network devices for service provider
networks that want to use time and/or daytime to set their clocks at
boot (so $DAYJOB still has to provision servers with those services
enabled on private networks occasionally).

Yes, I know it is 2020, and all about NTP and such... but I don't write
the firmware in those devices.  If you haven't worked on service
provider stuff before... it is VERY slow to change.
