If a primary purpose of forking ntpd was to give the original project a kick in the ass about fixing vulnerabilities, could it not be argued that your project has now served its purpose, and dollars could be better spent on building from the success of "NTP Classic" --- which, after all, is the version of NTP most likely to be deployed?

I would agree with you if NTP classic had fixed the total of its social and technological problems. Unfortunately, this is not the case. "Patching faster" is one small victory.
What percentage of "NTP Classic"'s problems are managerial/social and what percentage are raw technical?
