How much does attack IV matter for Ttar?

Not that much, at least for raids. Assuming you power up your mons to L32.5, you reach all breakpoints for a 10 atk Ttar vs relevant raid bosses, namely Lati@s and Mewtu. In very few matchups its necessary to have 15 Atk (Entei is the only one I can think of having a L40 bite breakppoint and it may never come back).

Every Atk gives you roughly one more damage per lvl on the charge move tough. Powered a 14 Atk Ttar myself without caring much about that one atk point.

This sums it up quite well. While breakpoints are very important for low damage moves like bite, there is no near-max level breakpoint on any relevant raid boss that you'd use Tyranitar for (Gengar, Eon twins, Mewtwo, even Alakazam) unless it's foggy (Mewto and Gengar, at 37.5 with 15atk and only Gengar's can't be reached with 10atk).

The small caveat is that the first signs of a new rock fast move Smack Down have been found in the APK breakdown. I think it is unlikely for Tyranitar to get Smack Down, but if it does then it will have different breakpoints than Bite and higher attack IV might be more important.
