There isn’t any way to change the values saved to posts when the choices for the field change. Another issue you probably don’t realize is that the repeater can be reorganized, so, it may be impossible to tell what value in the repeater has changed, making it even more difficult to make the change to all of the posts.

You could have two field, one for value and one for label, and then make the value field so that it cannot be edited after it is added. I recently replied to another topic on hot to disable some things about repeaters, including making a field readonly https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/users/hube2/replies/. If you applied only the portion for readonly on your value field then it would allow users to add values and edit the labels, but not edit the existing values.

Then you just need to figure out what to do if your user decides to delete a value.
