This is a matter of opinion, and I personally find nothing trivial about it.
Unequal temperament may give some flavour to earlier music that blandly
never strays to far from the home key, but in the era in which modulation
became an important element of expression ET is anything but "trivial". It
is INDISPENSABLE, as a matter of fact.
