You are a lot stronger than me so I won't presume to educate you about chess - but it would seem that you can learn something from analyzing any game you play - even if you are only learning what kind of mistakes you tend to make in faster games...
Guys, if you have an interesting game/opening/tactics/endgame:
Why not analyzing it? Does it really matter where it stems from? Or do you believe every old chess myth?

I don't waste time analyzing "long" games, therefore it makes no sense to analyze the "shorter" ones.
I analyse both 3+0 and 10+0 games - mostly to see which tactical patterns I miss but also to get a better feel for certain positions.
Also I can see if my positional judgment at least was in the right direction.
I find it usefull.

Are there any valuable blitz games that have ever been included in chess literature?
Chess moves in blitz are so valuable that they are not even written down in the real world.

Of course, see below. Sry! (double posting)
good moves are good moves irregardless of the time control. analyze the 3min blitz of titled players and forget the rest unless a gem sparkles in the rough. Always analyze titled 3min blitz...
I hate analyzing my own stuff tbh. Can't stand it. Why would I want to analyze the moves that made me lose when I could analyze the moves that will help me win?

@Zwickmuehle Of course, time and again you find blitz games mentioned in opening books, endgame books, tactics...
One epic example:

"Sehen Sie, wie Capablanca als Weißer am Zug in unglaublichen fünf Sekunden eine herrliche Gewinnkombination aufs Brett zauberte? Sie müssen bedenken, dass 1.Kxc7? patt ist und Schwarz nicht nur 1…Kxb8, sondern auch 1…Sxb5 (mit Remis) droht. Helmut Pfleger"
Clumsy google translator:
"You see, as Capablanca wielded a winning combination on the board in an incredible five seconds on the move, remembering that 1.Kxc7 is patted and Black is threatening not only 1 ... Kxb8, but also 1 ... Nxb5 (with a draw) Helmut Pfleger"

you can find blitz games to give an idea of what can happen in some variations in many books really.
i prefer classical myself but i can say there are times ( i wish i could say there were) when i play a much better
game in blitz than in classical. More time doesn't always guaranty better quality sadly.
