‘Programs carefully designed to use UTC’ would only irreversibly break by very slowly becoming out of sync with the rotation of the earth.

A few applications should switch standards, the question is whether solar concerned applications should switch to UT1, or continuity concerned applications should switch to TAI. The former is simpler, easier, cheaper, and only causes unexpected behavior (quite slowly), NOT systematic failure.
