Actually, the leaders that use the same size dots align. I agree that
leaders should be aligned. I don't see a need to turn it on/off, it
should always be on.

That's an interesting observation. The specification should perhaps be
more descriptive about these issues -- border styles in CSS are
hampered by different implementations.
In the article, this example is used:
ul.toc a::after {
content: leader('.') target-counter(attr(href), page);
}
Another way to specify leaders would be to use keywords:
content: leader(dots)
It would make some sense to prescribe that leaders generated with
keywords should all use the same size dots, while those specifying a
string ('.') should use the font of the corresponding element.
Note that you can achieve more space in leaders by adding spaces to
the leaders string:
content: leader(' . ')
