Blizzard emphasizes the importance of career gear in Dragonflight – World of Warcraft

In a post a few moments ago on the official forums, Drough once again reiterated the developers’ desire for professions to be a viable resource for all gamers.

Primal Chaos will be available through various extreme level outdoor activities as well as Raids, Mythic+, and PvP. Even if you don’t participate, you will still get them in heroic and legendary dungeons, during expeditions, against world bosses, rare creatures found in the world, etc. It will take more time to take them out in the open air than in a normal raid, but the equipment of high-level professions will be powerful and available to everyone.

All you have to do to make an epic piece of gear is get enough Primal Chaos, a spark of creativity (via a max level mission) and then either order an experienced crafter or make your own. The usual ingredients can be harvested yourself, purchased from the auction house and included in the order, or supplied by the manufacturer if you compensate them with your commission.

The current item level of Epic Gear from Professions starts a little lower than the normal raids of lower quality, with a width slightly more than the first bosses. This should make some of the best outdoor gear accessible, being an important part of your progression no matter how you play.
