Is it necessary to network internally with other AEs?

Couldn't find this question in the search, apologies if a duplicate. So I've been working remotely since the start of COVID and recently came into a new role at a new company. So far I have a great relationship with my boss and his, the director of the sales engineers, a couple of the sales engineers themselves, and our marketing VP. I have an AE on my team who is my mentor who I meet with occasionally.

However, I HATE networking with other AEs within my team. I put almost no effort in to it simply because I'm more of an introvert and would rather focus that effort on selling and building key internal relationships to further my career.

Do you think it's important to network with other AEs on your team? Why or why not?
