Looks like it would be defeated by the dreaded leap second.

They're going away. Resolution 4 of the CGPM 2022[1]. They didn't want to deal with having to add a negative leap second, and it looks likely they'd have to if they didn't end them.

I don't think so. It would be only year 2006 (which map to second 60) which could be a problem, and there wasn't a leap year in that year.
