Growing up without a �father
figure� is (quite) a common situation. How harmfull it
is I don't know but in some cultures it's almost the
standard situation.

It is very harmful. In a few words: Girls are taught by their mothers that "All men are jerks, you don't need them at all". Boys without men's up-bringing become infantile, spoilt, effeminate, cowardly. Such children always feel insulted and betrayed. And when they grow up, they often have serious problems with their family life, because they never saw any model of normal family relations.

To grow up without a "mother
figure", somebody who directly takes care of you,
wether it is a man or a woman, is almost impossible
and it is certainly very harmfull.

Do you want to say that a father, bringing up a child alone automatically becomes "a mother figure"? Then what is "a father figure" in yer interpretation?
