do you NTP sync your AS boundary routers? If so, what are incentives
for doing so? Are there incentives, e.g. security considerations, not
to do it?

Ensure you have a firewall rule in place to prevent people to use your router
for NTP amplification. NTP clients are also servers. On Juniper
devices:

policy-options {
    prefix-list ntp-servers {
        apply-path "system ntp server <*>";
    }
}
firewall {
    /* ... */
           term accept-ntp {
                from {
                    source-prefix-list {
                        ntp-servers;
                    }
                    protocol udp;
                    port ntp;
                }
                then {
                    policer management-1m;
                    accept;
                }
            }
}

You mean in addition to iACLs allowing only BGP and ICMP to your "infrastructure" IP address block(s) right? ;)
