Using TAI, we can always convert a date and clock time to a count of seconds and vice-versa without any additional information. To do the same with UTC, we need a table of leap-seconds.

No. Date and clock times are usually UTC or some offset (time-zone) thereof. Converting to TAI requires a table of leap-seconds.
