I felt like 1) Jules was being diplomatic and results-oriented, 2) Jimmy was a connected guy to some degree, or formerly was, or was a "friend" of a boss or someone. Jimmy clearly had some unspoken status in the situation - he spoke too boldly and bluntly (to gangster/murderers no doubt) and likewise received respect from them, for him to just be some guy.
This is good analysis - and the focus of the entire scene makes this clear - they are moving heaven and earth to avoid a problem between Jimmy and Bonnie - it seems assumed that the problem would be easily solvable but for Bonnie, who forms the ticking clock and adds tension to the scene - not the capital crime they're trying to cover up (which seems easy, relatively speaking, except for this ticking clock).
And why is Bonnie important? Because she is Jimmy's wife.

Now that you mention it, If you really wanted to extrapolate further, almost seems like Bonnie had some deeper unstated importance, eg, she was the "connected" one, like someone's daughter. That almost sounds more likely considering that she was ultimately the one that all involved (three seasoned killers and Jimmy) were going to great lengths to not piss off.
Or maybe it's just an all too typical example of a slightly hen-pecked guy trying to avoid a nag attack.
