I would think this is an argument for telescopes using UT1, not whether UTC should be adjusted for leap seconds. This is such a fringe application and all involved are aware of the issue, that I don't think it's relevant here at all. |

If leap seconds are a problem for the intended application then UTC is the wrong thing to use. There are other scales that are defined differently that can be used in it's place (such as TAI).
However if exact frequency is not critical one could also directly use UT1 instead of UTC (people that use leap second smearing for instance should have no issue with that..).
