I think this would be important to have since the purpose of a lot of blog posts is to get more organic search traffic.

Here's an article to reference the benefits:

Hey @chandlerwilcox88,
thanks for sharing your feedback. Of course, sitemap is a nice improvement to the package, and is very useful in very large blogs, but it's not a must-have for small to medium size blogs. Blogs urls/posts can still get indexed if they are well linked internally, or we can manually register them to be indexed.
However, generating site maps is a great addition to the package.

If your site's pages are properly linked, Google can usually discover most of your site. Proper linking means that all pages that you deem important can be reached through some form of navigation, be that your site's menu or links that you placed on pages. Even so, a sitemap can improve the crawling of larger or more complex sites, or more specialized files
