Meaning we would need to plant the entire current flora every 25 years just to break even. Sounds pretty close to irrelevant.

In fairly sure flora also plants itself if we leave it alone..
I'm fairly sure the total biomass of flora on Earth is fairly consistent across human time scales. It's not going to double in 25 years and then continue increasing at that same rate.
Do you have evidence for that? I in turn would assume that there's considerably less flora since the industrial revolution. If you ever kept a garden you know how fast weeds colonise bare soil.
