Consequence. Crawlers have to discover every URL by following links. Pages that are deep, newly published, or poorly linked internally take longer to be found, and some may never be. A sitemap is the most direct way to hand a crawler the full list.
If that is not intended. Publish an XML sitemap and declare it with an absolute URL, e.g. "Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml". The line is global — it belongs outside any User-agent group and applies to every crawler.

If that is the intention. If your intention is to prevent this content being used as model training data, the current configuration achieves that for these crawlers — the rest of the group is still allowed.
Consequence. These crawlers cannot retrieve content from the site, so it will not be collected as training data. They send no traffic back, and blocking them does not affect search rankings.
If that is not intended. Remove the site-wide block, or replace it with narrower path restrictions.
