Is it worth not hitting the times but doing the workout out outside with high winds or doing the workout on a treadmill and hit the times?

Go by feel and do it outside.
my general advice on this topic is that you cannot guarantee good weather in races and should not be scared to train in adverse weather.
but... there is high wind and then there is HIGH WIND, so there does come a point where it is silly doing the session because you are not going to get anything out of it. you (or your coach) are the only one who can decide where that point lies.
physiological benefits are earned by running at particular speeds, not at particular "effort levels," so running by feel does not give you the same benefit at all.
I would advise not running track sessions on a treadmill on an ad-hoc basis. if it is something you have trained for and are used to it can be useful, but doing the odd one or two sessions per year like that is just asking to get injured.

I live in a coastal town and it can get VERY windy at times. You just have to tell yourself that the wind does not bother you. Going into the wind means the same effort is slower, which = less pounding, which = decreased injury risk and more strength.
