I quite like Michael’s adjective ‘decisive’, but since this refers to both behaviour and significance, I think you need something less ambiguous. I hope Michael won’t mind if his ‘issue’ (splendid catch-all noun!) gets recycled here:

does/should not hinge on this one issue alone
(inspired by David's 'pivotal')

Expanding on the point above about the ambiguity of 'decisive':
decisive
adjective
1.
having the power or quality of deciding; putting an end to controversy; crucial or most important:
Your argument was the decisive one.
2.
characterized by or displaying no or little hesitation; resolute; determined:
The general was known for his decisive manner.

Legalistically: 'this is not a matter on which the issue joined upon hinges.'
