Time Travel is Glorantha is a difficult question. You can't change the past, but you can visit it. As to the accuracy of the information gained by visiting it, I don't know - but it does seem like you can discover information that is true by visiting the past in heroquest/T&J. Valare Addi appeared to discover real facts about the past by visiting it - facts that we, with access to information that no Gloranthan knows, can confirm as true.

Sometimes it does matter. The Yelmics had forgotten about the Pelandan womens culture that preceded them, but that doesn't mean that what the Pelandan myths reveal about Yelmic myth isn't true. Which could result in nasty surprises on the heroplane.
