It shouldn't.

Ubuntu Desktop is a "meta package and there are few times I've removed
things and it has removed that one with no detrimental effects.

Obviously YMMV but a quick google will show you what I mean:

"ubuntu-desktop (just like kubuntu-desktop and others) is a metapackage,
meaning that it doesn't contain anything but depends on many other
packages. (but not other package depends on it). So installing
ubuntu-desktop will install Gnome and all apps that are in the default
Ubuntu desktop, but removing the ubuntu-desktop package will not remove
anything else than the metapackage.

Metapackages are often used to install groups of packages in easy way."
