To me, typing speed is a convenience feature, not an efficiency feature (past like 30 wpm). I have recently twice experienced both low typing speeds (~30 wpm) and high typing speeds (~80 wpm) due to switching to colemak and to an ortholinear keyboard layout, and my productivity was the same on 30 wpm but man did it feel shitty.

I ended up typing less comments on sites like HN and typing in less detail to people on Discord. The increased convenience of having a higher WPM makes you want to write/communicate more, in my experience.

There's definitely a comfort zone imo. If I go full speed my fingers feel it. It also doesn't help the higher I push my speed the more dumb typos pop up, like mispressing the space bar or not thinking and conflating its for it's or vice versa.
