I have done this twice on two different content types, and it caused a degree of alarm...
The new displays on the back-end show warnings that no template exists (screenshot), in this case for Pages.
1. Investigating, I clicked on the 'create content template' button, which of course creates a content template and assigns it to Pages.
2. I decided I didn't want to do this, so closed the content template without putting anything in it (lol), and went on to do other things in the back-end.
3. The effect, of course, was that all the pages on the site disappeared, because they were all using a content template with nothing in it.
Not a problem for me at the moment (just makes me feel like an idiot), but if someone less familiar with Types does the same, perhaps even accidentally, it could have a serious impact, especially on a live site.
I think it would be a REALLY good idea to give a warning along the lines of 'Are you sure you want to assign this template to all <Pages>?'
Thanks. FYI I've just done it accidentally again (in the last minute - and this time on a live site), but this time from the front-end toolbar. I was looking at the 'design with toolset' item, and accidentally clicked on 'create a new template for this page' - at least that only switches off one page!
