The fact is that text revision is endemic in not only the NT, but the Old as well

By Christians, yes. Not by the Jews. You had a buffet of different verison of ths LXX commissioned in the Christian era.

Is it important?

Depends.

I thought that both pseudoephigraphic works and textual revision were common in Jewish writings during the several centuries before Christ, and after.

Didn't each Jewish sect have its own version(s)?
