Here are two open (free) recent papers on the renal benefits of taurine at pubmed:
1. Ameliorative effect of taurine against diabetes and renal-associated disorders (Review), 2021.
2. Taurine and the renal system, 2010.

For CKD, I would be concerned about the considerable possible acid load. Taurine is 26% sulfur, methionine 22%, and cysteine 26%. Eggs, meat, tuna, and casein protein are about 3% Met and 2% Cys. Excess Met and Cys get metabolically converted to taurine. So 1 gm of taurine is potentially equivalent to the Met + Cys in a whopping 20 gm of animal protein. I try very hard to keep my animal protein intake below 16 gm/day. Keep up the great work.

Is there a recommended safe level of supplementation to counter the deficiency?
