do you NTP sync your AS boundary routers?
yes
If so, what are incentives for doing so? Are there incentives, e.g. security considerations, not to do it?
The major advantage of NTP syncing your routers is that it allows you to more effectively correlate any log messages that these devices emit to log messages other devices generated.
Note that if you step into the wonderful world of streaming telemetry you MAY need to worry about certificate validation and time becomes important for that. Similarly any other usages of certificates on the devices will bring with it a stricter time regime.
