Here are a few articles, not necessarily any which meet your requirements:
The future of leap seconds, including link to Meeus's article

The Leap Second: Its history and possible future

There is also a note elsewhere from Signal Engineering regarding DCPRS
Certification (whatever that is): that a GPS receiver must be turned on
from Standby Mode for at least 12.5 minutes before use so that the GPS
Almanac can be downloaded to determine if a Leap Second had occurred. I
wonder if eliminating the Leap Second would permit faster startup.

which provides an explanation comprehensible to an old engineer, what is
the big problem in inserting leap seconds??
