I noticed that NEWNEWS is disabled on a lot of servers, including
eternal-september. It seems like it would be a sensible way to run a
leafnode or a peer that is not always online. What's the reason it is
so often disabled?

Server performance considerations.

NNRP uses POST to inject articles.
Leafnode/Hamster can also use that, they are not like NNTP server to
their upstream.

NEWNEWS has nothing to do with injecting articles:
