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. Did two events happen at separate times, or was it perhaps the same event at the same time? the incentive is ease of troubleshooting. on this topic, i strongly recommend to operate all devices in the Etc/UTC timezone, this makes coordination with external entities much easier.
