dbus-daemon vs dbus-broker - safe to restart?

[W Quayle]

We have a situation on a Rocky 9 server, running dbus-broker-28-7.el9.x86_64, in which timedatectl is unable to start systemd-timedated.  Restarting dbus-broker fixes this situation, but we are concerned that restarting dbus-broker has detrimental effects on other processes using dbus.  I've read that restarting dbus-daemon is considered a bad thing to do, and have not found anything documented to that effect concerning dbus-broker.

Thanks for any insight here.
