I think systemd does hwclock handling in some way. However, you should
always run NTP, on every machine, real or virtual.

Some tips:
1) Use the _netdev option in fstab. This makes sure systemd knows they
are network file systems and acts accordingly. Also make sure you have
the very latest nfs-utils, as the rpc-idmapd and rpc-gssd units have
been fixed there.

2) If you don't want to wait during boot, use the
x-systemd.automount,noauto option. This will mount the file systems on
demand.
