I don’t know about sitemaps but I’ll quote Discourse’s team on this:

> [@Why Pro plan don't have Sitemap?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/why-pro-plan-dont-have-sitemap/129420/4):
>
> the sitemap plugin isn’t necessary for sites to be indexed by Google as Discourse is already structured to allow crawlers to index it easily. But for large sites, the plugin can make it marginally faster.

> [@1 million Topics - Takes millions of days to get indexed without Sitemap in Robots](https://meta.discourse.org/t/1-million-topics-takes-millions-of-days-to-get-indexed-without-sitemap-in-robots/57234/2):
>
> Site maps are useless and unneeded.
