Depends on where you live.
If the jobs vacancy require degree, pretty sure university degree is important.
If you live in a country who choose experience over degree and other theory thing, university degree isn't important anymore.
Many people that I met usually say this to me "the most important thing of school is you can make friends and relationship, they will help you in the future". So, I think university is important for the social benefit than the thing you learn since you can learn in work.
For me I think that university degree is still important,firstly because going to the university is not just for studying and getting certified but also for , influence, exposure, and self development and socialization because all through the process of studying you get to meet new people and it as well paves way for these very tech skills that are now job opportunities for people so I think wether u go to the university and get a degree or not shouldn't be a limitation for job opportunities,it all depends on the privilege you get as a person
