So I never got around to buy Sun/Moon, was about to when they announced USUM. So I have a question for you.
Is USUM a slightly modified story, like gold/silver and crystal, or a whole new story like black/white and black/white 2?
That's all I care about. I don't care about weird evolutions or multiplayer mumbo jumbo. I just care about the story. Will I miss something important about it if I skip Sun/Moon?
Yes. Don't bother with SuMo.

Most likely just a slightly modified story. You're better off going with US/UM if you had to pick only one. At least you would get more stuff.
If it was going to be a sequel they wouldn't put a word that implies being a better version in front of the name.

More than slightly, since the new game is focused on Necrozma, Minor Characters (Golf Bitch, Edgy Dragon Kid) have new and expanded roles. Events occur in new locations as the starter Pokémon scene shows.
Basically USUM is all the ideas they wanted to add but were to lazy to program in to SM
