Oh I think it is very interesting, actually, given Rey's potential.
Essentially, her Jedi 'fundamentals' are comings from some of the most ancient sources in existence. She could potentially learn things that have been lost for generations... Or at the very least she's learning from sources that are presumably more 'raw' in their teachings. /shrug

Wait, wait, wait, wait. So they're written in a language that Rey can't read? This might be because she's uneducated, but then she's also surprised that threepio can read them. And he says they're written strangely. So...did Luke ever try to read them? Could he? Could anyone? Yoda seems to know what was in them, but how many jedi knew about it?
And you know, originally, I'd just thought, cause of Yoda's comments, that those books were basic knowledge, since, you know, knowledge tends ot grow over time. But now that you've mentioned it, they were in the unknown regions, and they were ancient, like the knowledge Palpatine was after, Luke studied when shifting away from the jedi order, and Snoke knew of. And the "prime jedi" was also on Ahch-To, in the unknown regions, which we're told is the origin of the force. I'm interested now. Can't wait to see where this goes.
Rey's education has nothing to do with her inability to read the book. It is written in an ancient(and I mean ancient) dialect. Frankly, I'm surprised that even 3P0 can [albeit loosely] decipher it. /shrug
Regarding the books themselves:
Moreover, Rey seems to have a special 'connection' with them, so I'd imagine that she will actually be able to put all of the knowledge to use:
And like you mentioned: it was stated that Luke had avidly searched the galaxy for years to acquire the books, so it's very unlikely that their teachings were widely circulated amongst the Republic-era Jedi, imo. I'd imagine that much of their knowledge has been lost over the generations... And knowledge that primordial will likely be quite something to behold. /shrug

A feeling of fullness, of power, of dark and demon mastery -- of secret lusts, unrestrained passion, wild submission -- all these things were in Vader's heart as he neared his Emperor. These things and more."
I think the information Rey is gathering from the ancient texts will play a big role in future films, tbh. The books were teased/shown at the end of TLJ for a reason, after all: (please log in to view the image)
The comic is just expanding on that a bit.
...Or he can just read Poe Dameron #28.
