Only reasons I see for speed if you have been held up and need the speed to get down. In the normal event 250 kts gives a smidge extra time to finish the coffee thank you very much..
Depends, if you are told about it beforehand, you can plan for it and I see no reason to be getting out of shape.
Why do so many people make this job look so difficult, it’s not rocket science and doing a high speed descent should be a normal low risk task
