Your horology results appear to match the no-DST-before-1970 variant,
which would be unsurprising on some variants of Unix but it is a tad
surprising on a recent Linux platform. Still, unless you are planning
to do stuff with pre-1970 timestamps it's not worth getting excited
about.
The stats failure shows that the statistics collector is not starting.
The only cause of that I've seen in the past is broken or overly
restrictive configuration of local-loopback IP connections. Look in the
postmaster's log for more details.
