Sources are pretty widely spread out among cell networks/home
internet, seem to be mostly US based. I'm not seeing a large amount
of traffic per single IP or single subnet. This seems more like
"someone pushed out bad firmware" rather than something malicious.

SNTP Client timesync queries make up 91.3% of the traffic to my server.
The following NTP settings being most the popular (47% of all traffic
to my server):
stratum=0, poll=4, precision=-6, root delay=1, root dispersion=1,
reference timestamp=0, originator timestamp=0,
receive timestamp=0
