Spoofing the Initial Virtual Hardware Clock Offset

Should we spoof the clock for Gateway and Workstation too ? Should the Workstation and Gateway clock be equal or they should be different?

No, in general, if it is not recommended already in the documentation, then don’t proceed unless you know what you’re doing.

Discussion happened here:

Offsetting isn’t as critical as you think. Using your WS after timesync completes is enough. The removal of virtual timers from the guest guarantees that guest time will start drifting apart from the host after initialization.

As for the GW, I enabled kvmclock to allow Tor to bootstrap after the host has been suspended for a while. There should be no time leaking vectors on there so it should be alright.
