It seems to be all about Speed
I've reached high enough rank in my Squad Arena that all I'm seeing now is JK Revan squads - and what's more the same JK Revan squad over and over. And to be honest, I'm the same. I'm using the same...

Whether all the teams in arena are the same is a completely different issue than whether it’s “all about speed/mods.”
But it's all about mods precisely BECAUSE everyone is running the same team.
If we had the options of multiple squads all being equally viable, it would NOT be all about mods.
What I'm saying is that the second sentence above is preferable. It's much more interesting to play and that makes for a better game.
If the Devs could give us balanced squads instead of power-creeping every few weeks, mods would still matter but they'd matter less and we'd have a better game to play.
Except, again, that’s not true. If slower Revan can beat faster Revan, then it is, in fact, NOT all about mods, unlike other metas in which it was.
I have never seen a mirror match being won by the slower team. Ever. No matter the squad. And definitely not Revan.
With all due respect, if you're just starting to fight Revan mirrors, then you don't have much basis for this comment. Many of us who have fought a high number of Revan mirrors understand that Revan's opening speed (and generally the overall speed of each member of the team) is important, but by no means defines who wins the match. I win Revan matches every day where I'm the slower Revan sitting at a turtle like 305. Sometimes up to 10 of them across two accounts on two different shards (which is actually pretty interesting from a comparison perspective). So 100s of Revan mirrors, many against faster teams, many having won.
I've fought mirrors against slower teams and lost on offense. Revan modding is not 100% about speed. That being said, if you're not rocking 6e mods against someone who is, you can expect to lose. And you should, because you haven't put in the effort. As one of my favorite shard mates likes to say about mods - "you have to kiss a lot of frogs"
