How important is port forwarding, actually?

I've been putting off renewing my mullvad membership because of the port forwarding thing. I only want to use it for torrenting. Is it really crucial to find a VPN that supports port forwarding? If so, what's the go to option now that it's becoming increasingly uncommon?

Port forwarding isn’t available in the US, so I was curious if you’re in the country as well. But yeah if you’re in Europe then it makes sense that it’d be available to you!
