I recommend getting the installation kit as well, even though it's overpriced. The wall bracket is necessary for a clean installation.
I have Leviton charger, and about two months ago Nissan installed new OBC in my Leaf. Per Nissan, they thought it was related to using an extension cord with my L1 unit, and not related to Leviton EVSE. I've been avoiding using an extension cord, and so far my replacement OBC is not showing any signs of trouble.
I would guess that Nissan replaced a ton of OBC units. The cost is around $3k, so it has not been cheap for them.
