Will this cause any network interruption to other clients currently within the network?

No, by default appliance access is disabled, to enable access to the appliance execute below command : 

console>system appliance_access enable 

Once you execute the above command check if you are able to ping and access Sophos XG GUI?

This might affect your current working users you can disable the appliance console>system appliance_access disable

To me, it's unclear if after 

"All internet traffic will be dropped"

it will be up again automatically.

Could you please help me on that? There are many users connected.

Thanks

No, you have to disable the appliance_access by executing the below command : 

console>system appliance_access disable

Before you apply the above command check whether you are able to ping and access Sophos XG firewall ?
