Bad idea.
When restarting ntpd your clocks will likely be off by a second, which will cause a backward step, which will force the problem you claim to be avoiding.
If you are afraid that your routers will crash due to the leapsecond, then it would help to disable the thing that you think will crash them. Even if the router crashes when you enable it later on. Because then you can have one router crash at a time and have it happen in a service window where you are ready for it. Instead of having all routers in your whole network crash at exactly the same time.
That' seems fair, as long as you turn off the time stuff only on your routers, and I'm assuming this is on routers that don't have supported software. H
