How important are keywords/description meta tags today (as opposed to in previous years)? I understand that Google doesn't utilize them anymore. Do other search engines?

I'm not concerned really with AdSense - most of my AdSense ads are relevant. I'm more concerned with SEO (search engine optimization) for placement in search results.

If they exist, then leave them. Otherwise, I don't think you should bother too much about them.
I haven't seen a successful web site without them, so I highly recommend them. As long as you don't have a megabyte of pure metatags it should be ok. Company sometimes abuse the heck out of them and spiders don't even bother to crawl them because they see the abuse.

Every successful site that I've seen has used general keywords one time or another. In the long run, I don't recommend you ignoring generalized keywords.
