If anything I would regard one as a hindrance as I suspect it would tend to mask fluid leaks which I would be better off knowing about but perhaps I'm missing something obvious?
According to a local Rolls Royce trained engineer who until retirement worked on all cars but specialised in Ferraris, the lack of an undertray can have a serious impact on airflow and cooling.
