How important is this? Will it leave me stranded after a while?

Extremely important. Your car would fail an inspection if the emission control was not hooked up. The purpose of emission control is to curb polution by helping the converter change the gases that come from your cars engine. Less Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, etc.

The purpose is to o prevent air pollution. For example, in the 1970s you pretty much couldn't see the mountains from Los Angeles because of smog. The systems have nearly solved the problem.
Because of the way they're integrated into the car's fuel and ignition systems, failure in the emission system can also make the car run badly and get bad gas mileage.

It reduces toxic emissions to the atmosphere. It's not required on some vehicles and older ones don't have one.
EGR, PCV, catalytic converter, charcoal canister are some examples of parts of this system.
Your vehicle will be noticibly louder without the system in place and less fuel efficient.
