Important for what?

Depends on a lot of things.

The bigger and more complex the project, the more important a mentor to onboard, collaborate, and gain experience.

The better the mentor, the more you can gain in terms of specific and broad knowledge, not only about the things at hand, but understanding of alternatives and concepts.
