You can create a script to automatically reset keyboard repeat rate during resume:
#!/bin/bash
# NAME: keyrepeat
# PATH: /lib/systemd/system-sleep
# CALL: Called from SystemD automatically
# DATE: July 4, 2019.

case $1/$2 in
pre/*)
echo "$0: Going to $2..."
;;
post/*)
echo "$0: Waking up from $2..."
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard delay 250
;;
esac
Place the script in /lib/systemd/system-sleep.
Make it executable with:
chmod a+x /lib/systemd/system-sleep/keyrepeat
Reboot and then every resume after suspend the command:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard delay 250
is automatically run.
