Full-Stack JavaScript Course - Do I need to finish Ajax and jQuery courses?

Hi,

Currently learning JavaScript and I want in the end to build web applications. My plan is to use React, Node.js, GraphQL, Express and MongoDB. Should I finish every step on this track or can I skip Ajax and jQuery? Are those courses fundamental to understanding?

Both AJAX and jQuery are commonly used web technologies, and at least a basic understanding of both would be very beneficial.
