I don't think leaks need to have strategic implications to be significant. I'm no expert but the information on armor and APFSDS could have meaningful impacts on the survivability of a tank. Or maybe all of this is common knowledge that every relevant actor has aquired through HUMINT, who knows.

For all of the things you would find in user manuals (that operators are trained against), then yes, one would imagine such info is commonly known.

As far as I am aware, all of the information "leaked" has been of this kind (the leakers have mostly been operators!).
