Porcaro was a freak of nature and was playing on master sessions in LA when he was 17 years old.
It is argued that he is the most influential pop/rock drummer of the 70s and 80s - and I find it hard to argue with that.
Started drumming at 7, was playing with seasoned musicians at 17, as you say, and by 20 was in great demand - played on "hundreds" of albums and you can pretty much name a big name who used session musicians at all in the 70s and 80s, and Porcaro sat down for them at least once.
I will occasionally dig around and find Jeff Porcaro somewhere - like on Pink Floyd's "Mother" - from The Wall - I've heard that song dozens of times. I often thought, "Nick's timing was tight on this" - then when I figured out it was Porcaro - I thought "NOW it makes sense!"
