OK, I'll take your word for it that timed charging isn't a good solution
for you Peri. But perhaps the suggestion could be helpful for the OP,
who BTW seemed more concerned with timed preconditioning.
Using timers via the car itself has not been a problem for us (2013 SV).
We only set the charge or conditioning timers if we need one or both of
them, but turn them off after a drive if we don't need them again. We do
it from the car itself while we're in it, not via an app.
Charging overnight and charging again after a morning drive would not be
a problem for us, with or without using a timer. And again, no internet
connection or app required.
BTW there's a switch on the dash that forces the car to to start
charging immediately even if a timer is set. Perhaps that may help.
Here's a demonstration:

I tried the timed charging a long time ago. Bad idea. If you set it to
charge overnight, for example, but need to go out in the afternoon after
a morning drive, you'll be in trouble ! That is, you have to reprogram
the damned thing each time you want to charge. There's no way (at least
that I'm aware of) to override. It's plain idiotic.

Another option, which has been useful for us, is to use the LEAF's
built-in separate timed settings for both charging and
preconditioning. With those settings an internet connection is not
required.

Preconditioning, especially while charging is a fantastic benefit.
Sadly the Nissan Connect for Leaf was on 2G cellular, and there was
an update to 3G, but now that is going away as well and there seems
to be no 4G LTE upgrade.
Alternatively, people are using the OVMS to provide those functions
and more with an app.

The Leaf has an app that runs on your cellphone that can allow it to
pre-heat or pre-cool the car interior while it is plugged in. You
can also set a time to do this manually from the dash. Makes a HUGE
difference in range if you can use this feature.
Easier than defeating the heater somehow. You also _really_ need the
heater and/or air conditioning to defog the windshield. The blower
alone just doesn't do it.
