My girl had a severe reaction to it, so she will never get it again. Stil though, my 15 pound (non-yorkie) boy will get it yearly. I personally wouldn't give it to tiny dogs without a very good reason. Risk assessment from the disease and from the vaccine is all you can do. Lepto is a very serious problem in Michigan. If I had an almost solely indoor tiny dog, I probably wouldn't. If we liked to play outside, then yes I probably would.
Reaction rate may be better, but it's definitely still somewhat common. Some strains of the disease and the treatment for it, including possible isolation, are a major concern to me though.
The vaccine doesn't cover all strains and the duration of immunity is in question, but my dogs getting a strain like icterohemorrhagica isn't something I want them to go through.
