I'm not aware of there being an issue, we typically only use the clock
for relative time around session expiration. If the clock does skew a
significant amount we can run into issues like the following, but a
single second seems unlikely to cause issues:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1366

See this analysis from 2012 when, iirc, ZK did run into issues in a
small number of cases. Note however that this was due to jvm/os
interaction issues and not ZooKeeper itself:
