It's worth being nuanced here.
I think nobody is spending hours typing out code without interruption. So, roughly (and imprecisely), if you spend 90% of your time thinking/reading, and 10% typing; then having half the typing speed would only make you 10% slower overall.
That said, even if we say that typing is a low-intensity part of programming, then it's still good to reduce the time you spend typing things out. (Though, surely there's a point of diminishing returns).
