If I were you, I will do what I said above : do everything under ESP hood, and establish a tiny protocol between ESP and Arduino to talk to each other, such as Arduino sending "gettime" command to ESP, ESP does the job and then provide reponses.
Thank you for that hint. Do you have an example or description how to do that ?
