is of utmost importance

Just another way to put it. It`s one of the most common collocations.
Example sentence:

This habit of positive thinking is of utmost importance in children...

Something went wrong...
8 horas

is of paramount importance

Otro verbo mejor (aunque se alarga demasiado) puede ser acquires o su equivalente (depende del registro).
Something went wrong...
