--explanation--

Using that after I think is optional in sentences like this. Saying I think that it's vital we make these updates. is also correct. In everyday conversation, however, it is common to omit that for a smoother and quicker sentence. For example:

I think that we need more time to finish the project. – This structure is correct. Most people would say I think we need more time…, though.
