All I wanted to know whether I should use <attr> only once or repeat it throughout the document...

This (2006/"IE6 era") article shows that even this seemingly simple topic requires careful handling:
Getting Abbreviations Right alistapart.com/article/hattri… via @alistapart
#html #a11y
That article (§ 9) is either outdated or based on an unsupported draft, I guess

Neither MDN <abbr> (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…) nor MDN [href] (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…) mentions that <abbr> accepts an href attribute.
Also, I tested it with Chrome but didn't get the expected result.
One last thing worth mentioning, markdown-it's abbr plugin replace *any* instance of the abbreviation with an <abbr>.
So, in a sense, it has already made the (acceptable) decision for you.
