My understanding was that the original question was for top level  
categories without children.
If you remove 'parent' => 0 from the get_terms call, you'll get all  
categories without children, I just thought that seemed a bit strange  
myself..

But theres no technical reason why you -have- to exclude non-top-level  
categories.
