Why does the outlet baffle matter so much?

The outlet baffle is the last barrier between your tank and your drain field. If solids or scum get past it, they clog leach lines and biomat fast, and a clogged drain field is the most expensive septic repair you can have. The math is unforgiving.

Should I add an effluent filter while we are at it?

Yes if your tank doesn't have one. They need cleaning every 1-3 years (the pros we send do it during routine pumps), but they extend drain field life dramatically. Almost every modern install includes one for this reason.
