It is not safe as you already suspected. Timestamps might jump and this might lead to inconsistencies. If you sync with NTP before, there shouldn't be much difference, though.

It is recommended to use chrony for your application, although there still is the problem that the times might get out of sync. In a comparably short time that should not matter unless you are synching high-frequency sensor data between different machines.
