Is this the worst garden pest of all time?

No. It is not difficult to deal with if you have a good chainsaw. When
it's gone, it's gone.

There's nothing inherently wrong with Leylandii. It's the idiots who
put it in the wrong place, or the right place but fail to keep it under
control, who are the pests.

If you want pests, anything unwanted that grows from deep roots or roots
which break up will fill the role far better than Leylandii ever will.
