After reading that page and man 5 ntpd.conf, I couldn't find out how to
make sure it does NTP. Is it safe to assume that it does both SNTP and
NTP out of the box, and the user of SNTP in no way compromises its use
of NTP?

As far as my knowledge goes: if you install ntpd and use it it uses ntp to talk to the configured servers (or pool-addresses). sntp is a "smaller" subset of the protocol, normaly used by tools that only once query the time and are done with it (like ntpdate). The ntpd can serve sntp-requests, and that changes nothing about how he himself queries for time...
ntpsec may be worth a look too.
