Celes didn't have an arc about stage fright but she did have one about being cold and distant. You could tell from the way she talked that she didn't really open herself up to anyone. After being put in the acting role of Maria this changes and she lightens up and becomes a lot softer afterwards. So it is technically a significant event for her development, but it's probably not all that obvious in translation maybe.

Granted that's not really the reason why people make a big deal out of that scene. It was just novel for the time
