Re leap seconds, smearing seems to have solved that rather effectively. The last leap second was a non event thanks to it.

If people do leap second smearing anyway, I wonder if it were possible to just directly use UT1 instead of UTC (the leapseconds are just there to keep UTC synchronized to UT1 to within one second).
