I've been going back and forth on this myself. I have well over 1k drivers and they are categorized accordingly to the model but after you verify a driver package works, what is the point of keeping the separate drivers around?
Anyway, I keep all my SP3 driver packs and just create a new one each time they do updates. Eventually I'll delete the old SP3 driver packages, sounds like space is maybe an issue for you?

Otherwise, would I reimport drivers on top of the old ones, and have a bunch of duplicate/old versions of drivers?

In this case, for a SurfacePro3. How I've been doing it, is deleting the old driver files form the UNC driver path, replacing them with the new ones, and then updating the distribution points. Looking at the monitoring tab, it shows that all the DP's update successfully. However, the driver package source UNC is not changing. It still has old files, with old time stamps.
