How important is strength?

So I'm looking at making a shadar-kai paladin with a party consisting of a twilight cleric, arcane trickster rogue, and gloomstalker ranger. I have a couple ideas to play this character and one is a duel wielding dexadin with elven accuracy inspired by molly form mighty nein and the hornsent from elden ring.

As of right now tho there is no strength heavy player and I'm worried about about no one filling that gap.

The other idea is a more traditional strength sword (or axe) and board but I don't plan to wear heavy armor anyways since fuck disadvantage on stealth lol.

My stats are 17 16 14 14 13 10 so I'd probably still put a 14 in dex and wear a breastplate once I get my hands on it. Thanks for your help
