is built in GPS important in a camera nowadays?

Not really. I tend to organize photos by date, event and/or location. A GPS is just coordinates anyway, not a label that gives the kind of information you really care to know. Plus that information could change, depending on when the GPS is pinged against a database. Photos I took at places 20 years ago, had GPS existed, wouldn't mean much if the place was bulldozed or the business changed from a restaurant to a pawn shop. The GPS doesn't record the details that make photos into good memories.

is it worth paying any extra for?

In my opinion, no.
Nature photographers are the ones who find this feature most valuable, especially when they want to log the exact location for future reference (to teach classes, write books or guides, etc). I've yet to see anybody seriously give good reason for GPS, aside from those who shoot scenics of places unlikely to change anytime soon (mountain ranges, etc).
