The default robot.txt file looks like this:  
User-agent: \*  
Disallow: /addons/  
Disallow: /plugins/  
Disallow: /app/  
Disallow: /media/dashboards/  
Disallow: /media/files/  
Disallow: /media/js/mautic-form-src.js  
Disallow: /themes/  
Disallow: /translations/  
Disallow: /vendor/

If you are just using Mautic to send emails, is there any downside to turning that into:  
User-agent: \*  
Disallow: /

I cannot think of any reason, why this would effect mautic specifically. The file is an SEO related thing and I might be wrong but you do not really care about SEO rating for marketing software itself.

I guess the only thing you would want to have indexable is if you were using landing pages which you wanted to be spidered and indexed by search engines.

Also sometimes if you’re using uptime services the disallow all _might_ prevent them checking the resource depending on how they work, but you can do that with other ways.
