I do think it devaluates the importance of the character for the vessel subplot, but not the importance of the character (or the actor for that matter) for the show. And you know, the same is true for Dean, if Lucifer only needs Sam's body, then Michael only needs Dean's body, too. They are both devices to the angels/demons. In a roundabout way it's comforting that it's actually Sam and Dean, their souls/spirits, that're standing between Lucifer and Michael, respectively, by protecting their bodies. Plus, we don't even know if the demon spoke the truth. Could be she just lied. :)
And you know, the vessel plot, I don't really care about that so much. I care about Sam and Dean, the persons, the brothers. There will never be anything more important in this show than Sam'n'Dean and that's why neither of the characters or actors can ever be less important than the other or unimportant to the show.
