Repetition is one kind of consistency. A six-sigma production line, churning out identical widgets by the thousand.
Rhyme is another kind of consistency. Similar, but different. Assonance, consonance, alliteration. Particularly pleasing variations within a coherent whole.
Both types of consistency are needed. But they need to be in the right place.
On the whole, humans work better with rhyme than repetition.
