I'm sure you've thought of this (since you know everything already, amirite?), but there are reasons other than limiting reproduction for spaying/neutering. It pretty much eliminates the risk of reproductive cancers, which is a damn good reason to do it, IMHO.
It also cuts WAY down on undesirable behaviors in some species, which isn't a great reason to do it on its own, but if it makes an otherwise out-of-control animal keepable? Bonus points.
And this doesn't apple to all species, of course, but I know rabbits do much better in bonded male-female pairs than in same-sex pairs. Which pretty much means you have to get them fixed or you'll have rabbits coming out your ears in no time.
Basically, I agree with what you're saying, but OP never even said there were males around. OP just asked if he/she should bother getting them spayed. Just the fact that they asked shows that they're trying to be responsible, I think.
