Well, I am not having a specific problem. Sitemap creation is a core feature of many other webapps. Useful for page rank and search engine search results, most advice on seo and stuff say. Now, when you know better then me, which could very likely be the case, and sitemaps are obsolete, if search engines work as well with/without sitemap, then by all means, save your time and don't implement it.

We're happy to solve problems you encounter, but want to wait until there's a specific problem. There's currently no reason to believe that there is a problem, and no reason to believe that a sitemap.xml is the best solution to any problem.

I do have reasons to believe the is a problem: Google doesn't index most of phabricator.wikimedia.org maniphest reports. This makes a lot of sense because there is no HTML entry from which one could reach all reports; most links are hidden behind JavaScript pagination or manual fiddling.

Phabricator doesn't use Javascript pagination; the links to the next set of results are just standard HTML links / buttons: https://secure.phabricator.com/maniphest/?after=8838

I can't reproduce this issue. For example, here's an index of this task:
