No, consumable items are definitely useful, but if you're prioritizing them on the map then make sure to be using them regularly because an item spot will refill your items to full and if you're still hoarding some when you get there then those slots are effectively wasted. Mantis God isn't a special unlock iirc, but it is fairly rare. Assuming you have a sigil to put on something, probably the most powerful spot in the board is the altar and I'd try to hit those at all costs -- not only does it let you create a more powerful (sometimes totally broken) card, it also thins down your deck size and makes you more likely to draw into the cards that you actually want. Even a low-impact outcome like giving flight to your stoat or whatever is a huge boost to your overall card quality-- instead of having a chance of drawing a vanilla 1/2 or a 1/1 with flying, now you'll draw a 1/2 with flying instead, which is almost always a better option than both of those.
