That guide contains curious relics of the past that include, but aren't
limited to:

1) 'lo' interface in /etc/network/interfaces - unneeded even with
stretch's ifupdown.

2) 'hostname' record in /etc/hosts - unneeded with libnss-myhostname.

3) '.local' domain at /etc/resolv.conf - a direct violation of RFC 6762.

4) At controversial (to say the least) recommendation to use 'deb-src'
of Debian main suite without actually specifying 'deb'.

5) The /etc/adjtime configuration itself.
Systemd defaults to UTC - src/timedate/timedated.c in systemd source
tree.
If needed, one can use timedatectl(1) to produce perfectly valid
/etc/adjtime.

Of course, whoever wrote this certainly considered *other* init systems
that Debian ships - unlike systemd-timedated, sysvinit, openrc and
upstart rely on hwclock(8).

But since removing systemd from modern Debian takes certain skill and
determination and a reason to do so - I somehow doubt that OP's problem
can be explained by an absence of /etc/adjtime.
