"Let's" is a contraction of "let us", while "lets" is the third-person singular form of the verb "let". In #3468 the lets->let's mapping was added. While people indeed frequently misspell "let's" as "lets", I'd argue that the correct use of "lets" may be frequent enough that such a mapping does more harm than good.
I've updated codespell to 2.4.1 in our Lombiq's Open-Source Orchard Core Extensions project, including that it also runs for its submodules. While this might not be representative, it contains about 51k LOC in C#, and I'd guess at least a further 10k in CSS, JS, MD, YML, PS1, and other files.
After the update, I've got 17 errors for "lets", with a single one being an actual misspelling, 16 being false positives. So, it seems to me that this mapping is not useful. Thus, I'd ask you to please reconsider it, and I suggest removing it.
