Surely you jest? A robots.txt file is irrelevant to search engines, it
is a text file requesting some or all robots do not access certain
parts of a web site.

The absence of a robots.txt file will not be detrimental to a site's
indexing by any of the reputable search engines.

While true, they request it. Unless you love to see all those 404's it's a
good idea to put a bare bones robots.txt in your document root.
