Yes if you use atomic time you won’t encounter these issues.
Unixtime made a blunder of incorporating the leap seconds all those years ago so it’s not atomic hence the issue.
Now you might think it’s crazy that Unix time incorporated non-atomic leap seconds when it doesn’t incorporate any other part of the local sun relative position in its counter and you’d be 100% right in that. Leap seconds absolutely belong in the local time printing functions and nowhere else. But the blunder was made and now computers by default don’t have atomic time and here we are.
