You can skip it as long as you have these items to identify your drops or are willing to pay the vendors to do it for you. Loremaster is needed to avoid consuming identifying glasses. FYI, the gear you find is tied to the zone you proc lucky charm at, so if you proc in a level 10 zone you get level 10-ish (9/10/11) gear, if you proc in a level 16 zone you get level 16-ish (15/16/17) gear, no matter what level your character is. Lucky charm was broken, now it's not as broken but it's still a great way to get gear.

After that it's a nice thing to have but it's importance gets significantly lower the longer you play. Thievery is excellent while in Fort Joy. Sure you can avoid some fights and solve some quests in a easier way due to being able to convince the NPCs of whatever you want but I found that missing out on the EXP from the avoided fights is not worth it at all in the long run and you can convince most NPCs anyway by giving them some item or gold. I found persuasion to not be needed at all.
