I think it would be operationally of great interest to those who maintain Bible translations. I read a book by someone who worked on the New Jerusalem text and they read every source they could for clarification. New Jerusalem is, of course, officially a translation of the Vulgate, which to the best of my knowledge is the only translation that is claimed to be divinely inspired.

But, imagine if we did find a Q text. Let’s assume that it was the real one. We’d still be debating it till kingdom come.

And yes, that’s my experience of evangelicals as well. Almost an anti-curiosity about the source of their beliefs.
