 Is it important to wipe and restore your wallet if you can send and receive transactions using it?
Like i have some wallets that I never wiped and restored it in the beginning. I do have the seed phrase and I frequently send and receive transaction using it.

 Important for what purpose? To check if your recovery procedure works? If for this reason, then yes, clearly it's important. It's definitely something I always do unless the wallet is small value.

You can back up wallet files before trying it, to avoid risk.
