Extent of meteorology knowledge required for Pilots?

Just trying to get an idea.
I've gone through the ATPL met as a refresher once again, but for me personally, met is just the hardest subject to fully understand.
Also, apart from that, I can't read one of the Live weather maps. Is this a must?
I can ofcourse read synoptic charts, upper wind charts, etc.
I have a good basic knowledge on weather, what's associated with what kind of front, clouds, how things work and develop, pressure systems, etc.

Going deep into it just gets very difficult for me sometimes, and I'm worried this will be an issue while actually flying?
Looking for feedback from the more experienced

Thanks guys
