I wonder what the environmental impact of outdoor gear is relative to things like gallons of gas and pounds of beef.
Like is it worth paying much attention to smallish items that last 15 years?

No in the sense of emissions and garbage creation from them are negligible. But ensure you pack out everything you pack in, not washing your dish(es if you're bougie) near the water source, etc are very important principals to maintain hiking and camping conditions for whomever comes next. Because that plastic wrapper will definitely last more than 15 years.
