I think its just as important but in the opposite way - its important not to stuff your article so make sure its not over optimized. Also I think more important these days is LSI and related keywords. I think as a way of combating the obvious over optimizing google looks much more at related keywords and phrases to assess the relevance of an article, so look at including those additional types of keywords more than stuffing the article with a single target keyword.
If your articles are written for the reader and not just for the search engine, it's harder to stuff keywords into the article.

Ofcourse it relevant, but what matter most is the website / page itself.
Keyword density means that the keyword is found a lot in the content. suggesting a low quality content.
think about it. if i right an articles about locksmiths. and use the word locksmiths numerous times. I can only assume that my vocabulary is weak.

Yes, it's still important. But, there is no exact percentage. Experts are advised to keep 1- 3 % of Keyword density along with Semantic and LSI Keywords which helps to looks more natural to the eye of Google.
Here, what google says - Google suggest to write natural article with your Keyword in the article.
