Those work, but they are not official time. The pool is volunteer-run machines of unknown quality, and Google famously smears the leap second, which means it deliberately serves time that is wrong by up to 500 ppm around a leap event — fine for a fleet that must never see 23:59:60, not fine if you want traceability to UTC.
