You're exaggerating a little:

GPS time rolls over every 19 years (1024 weeks). Next due in April 2019.

NTP rolls over in 2036. It's not anticipated to cause any confusion (the protocol may have been modified by then to have 64bit seconds, but even if it hasn't, there's no confusion in the protocol. Implementions may have bugs, of course)
