I don't think trying to synchronise UTC with planetary movements with leap seconds is woth the cost.

Definitely not worth it. Most people don't have a sun-accurate time zone anyway. Just let UTC slip for a few thousand years and then adjust everyone's zones one hour, Won't affect a single real-world thing.

Especially once there is actually a semi-permanent off-world colony. At that point, leap seconds for wobbles in earth's rotation won't make sense.
