I mean this:

Is it still needed and important?

I know there are things related to viewport declarations concerning certain browsers. But It seems they are old things, and what about the other browsers nowadays?

<meta name=viewport content=width=device-width, initial-scale=1>

This article explains in detail why and when you need fastclick.js:
https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2013/12/300ms-tap-delay-gone-away

TL;DR

As of Chrome 32 (back in 2014) this delay is gone for mobile-optimised sites, without removing pinch-zooming! Firefox and IE/Edge did the same shortly afterwards, and in March 2016 a similar fix landed in iOS 9.3.

As long as your <head> includes: <meta name=viewport content=width=device-width>, this way the browser assumes you have made the text readable on mobile so there is no need for double-click.
