Well, that is what happens actually, at least in my vm.
When I don't have chrony installed, timesyncd is running:
root@bionic-chrony:~# systemctl status systemd-timesyncd chronyd
Unit chronyd.service could not be found.
● systemd-timesyncd.service - Network Time Synchronization
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service; enabled;
vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Wed 2018-07-04 19:40:37 UTC; 13s ago

The moment I install the chrony package, timesyncd is stopped:
root@bionic-chrony:~# apt install chrony

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
grub-pc-bin
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove it.

both are seen as enabled, but just chrony is running:
root@bionic-chrony:~# systemctl is-enabled systemd-timesyncd chrony
enabled
enabled
This state is kept after a reboot: timesyncd stopped, chrony running.
