Yes, this is very important. I experienced deadlocks in ASP.NET Core 2.1 when I connected a legacy application to the web with it and the developers of Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Json forgot to add .ConfigureAwait(false) to a async call into Newtonsoft.Json. This was easily fixed by writing a small warper around the JsonInputFormatter but it shows how important ConfigureAwait is. When writing a library for anything netstandard, always put ConfigureAwait(false) after each async call where it is not mandatory to return to the same thread again.
