99% of video is encode-one decode-lots. In that case encoding speed doesn't matter much.
It's only for streaming (videocalls, screen mirroring, VNC) that you really need fast encoding.

When occasionally encoding: yes. When your daily business is encoding larger batches: not necessarily.
edit: Just to clarify: we've got an encoding farm which will have to be siginficantly expanded if a substantial amount of content will have to be transcoded in H.265.
