Well, it depends on how you play. If you use Religious Talismans or CSMs or otherwise don't need to make to-hit rolls, it's not a problem. If you fight at point-blank range, it's not a big deal.
I, however, fight at max PPB range (range 6) all the time, and unless I have better combat sensors than they have ECM (which doesn't happen anymore now that I have the AIs on maximum boost) I need all the help I can get.
Even with 20% experience on both my ships and my fleets, I sometimes have problems hitting at range 6, especially on smaller ships. I shudder to think how rarely I'd hit if I didn't have the 20% fleet experience.
