is SMBIOS Version something important to update?

I have a 100% working Mojave 10.14.6 system. I am updating everything to latest version and I noticed that new serial generators create updated values for the BIOS Version and date.

My previous SMBIOS:

MacBookPro14,1

<key>BiosReleaseDate</key>
<string>06/26/2018</string>
<key>BiosVersion</key>
<string>MBP141.88Z.0178.B00.1806260902</string>

Suggested new values

<key>BiosReleaseDate</key>
<string>06/17/2019</string>
<key>BiosVersion</key>
<string>MBP141.88Z.F000.B00.1906171613</string>

This is the EFI Firmware binary file right? Does it makes sense on a Hackintosh or it is only for real macs? Using any of the two versions, if I run

/usr/libexec/firmwarecheckers/eficheck/eficheck --integrity-check

I always get IntegrityCheck: EFI version not found
