And he writes "2215 Pesach will begin on April 25th."

There are 27 days, or 38,800 minutes from April 25th to June 21st.
That is the slippage of 5,802 years AFTER 2215, and since we're talking
about averages, it's a rough estimate of being a problem in the 81st
cent CE. Although in 8107, which is the Shanah me'uberes 11867, and still
Pesach is still in late May, so my math may be off.

In any case, you're talking about something that won't happen until
humanity is more than twice as old as it is already. I'm unable to get
worried about it.

Tir'u baTov!
