How important it is, depends on what you're trying to accomplish with the reps. Doing the same workout without every changing it, allows your body to get stale, comfortable and your fitness can stall. I suppose we need more specifics of what you're asking, to answer it better.
I would say very important. If you're training for a 5k or 10k, your reps might get longer as you go through a build & your rest might shorten as you approach a goal race. I don't consider lactate threshold reps to be speed. I consider LT work strength work. Training up to the 10k, you probably want 2 workouts at pace, 1 faster (true speed- mile/3k), & 1 slower (threshold/tempo), in a 2 week cycle.
Volume also matters a ton throughout a build.
I like to do one every other week. Racing also isn’t always one constant pace. If you can’t do it in practice you can’t do it in a race!
