I have internet at home with speeds that top out around 250 Mbps. I find that good enough for what our household does with internet usage and streaming and such.
I am confused about the various WiFi router speeds that are advertised these days. Does it really matter? We have an Eero Pro mesh network. Would newer equipment make any meaningful difference?

You can also access your other devices on your home network via wifi, not just internet. For example you could have a wired NAS (network storage), which can be connected with 1gbit or even 2.5gbit to the router (switch), and having faster wifi will achieve faster speeds when you’re transferring files back and forth.
For home use in general wifi 6 is already really fast, and not all that many devices even support WiFi 7 yet, so I don’t think you’d see any improvement from faster access points today. I still have wifi 5 devices at home for example, those will not work any faster with a wifi 6 or 7 access point.
