Realizing no self is the only realization that actually cuts the root of cyclic existence. Bodhicitta and all our other practices on the method side of the Path are very important—they're how we create merit. Without bodhicitta, we can't become a fully awakened Buddha. But without a realization of emptiness, we can't cut the root of Samsara. Only the mind that directly cognizes the opposite of what ignorance cognizes is capable of cutting the root of the ignorance.
