I don't understand the point of an investigation here. It's not like there's any mechanism whatsoever to hold an unethical justice to account, and that's by design. There is literally no ethical oversight over the Supreme Court.

It certainly influenced the election and undermined the judiciary, but I'm not sure it undermined democracy .
For me, it mainly undermined my trust in the Supreme Court. I’d already lost trust in congress and the presidency. Now I have lost trust in all three branches of government. Complete corruption across the board.

Based on what evidence?
Because he's done it before https://www.axios.com/2022/11/29/supreme-court-alito-ethics-...
The guy who claimed it is a known liar.

Historical precedent https://www.scotusblog.com/2022/12/reverend-who-accused-alit...
That’s about someone who had dinner with Alito, and that person claims Alito talked about it at dinner. So secondhand secondhand reporting.

The leaker was most likely a clerk or other lesser official, not a justice.

I'm in broad agreement with you, Alito more than likely leaked it himself, which is why no leaker will be found, the justices are above scrutiny. Absent finding another person who we can prove did it, I'll hold on to that idea.
It was to prevent Roberts or Kavanaugh from getting cold feet.

Nah, the leaker was most likely Alito, who is on record as having done something like this before. He did it to keep Roberts's vote secure by publicly forcing the issue so he couldn't waver. That's why this report refuses to reach any conclusions, and why after initially thundering about the leak Roberts has been veeeeeeery quiet about this investigation.
