Somewhat important to me.
The main thing is... the class quests you get, and class story (even for crafting and gathering!) contribute so, so much lore and background information on the game world. If you want to RP the world of FFXIV and Hydaelyn... and not just a concept of your own, it's so important to level the jobs and get the story!
Of course, obviously, you can look up quest text online. But for me, experiencing the full plot and cutscenes in-game gives me a much better idea about what that job/class/thing is 'all about'.
And it's just cool to see, personally, when there is some alignment between character OOC class and IC class. Just feels 'right' to me, when I am playing my character and RPing with others.
