Just here to reinforce your point.

The last leap-second I encountered (also the 2014 one) crashed my MySQL databases.

you wouldn't assume that it depends on time like that, because honestly why would it? "surely it's fine, NTP corrects drift of a second fairly frequently"- but a leap second is not a drift, it's something quite insane unless your primitives are solid. Nobody would test for this.
