I’m familiar with NTS, which is pointedly not NTP. That’s like saying “TCP port 80 can be made secure,: just use a VPN!” Perhaps when NTS is widely deployed it will be an option. As the RFC was only approved in 2020, that will probably take a decade. Or more. (I’m talking about you, IPv6 :) Not to mention the complexity or NTS for hardware implementation in network elements, a primary application (https://tinyurl.com/ntsishard).
