That is a valid point if you are building a one-off project. Your
time is worth something. But if you plan to sell a million AA cell
battery chargers using a 32-bit controller is uneconomical. These
will always be a bigger market for 8-bit chips then for 32-bit chips.
For an NTP server I'd go with something that can run an OS and the NTP
reverence implementation. ARM (and others) can do that.
