From the documentation: Once you have done this, the <list-reply> function will 
work for all known lists. Additionally, when you send a message to a known list 
and $followup_to is set, Mutt will add a Mail-Followup-To header. For 
unsubscribed lists, this will include your personal address, ensuring you 
receive a copy of replies. For subscribed mailing lists, the header will not, 
telling other users' mail user agents not to send copies of replies to your 
personal address. More precisely, Mutt maintains lists of patterns for the 
addresses of known and subscribed mailing lists. Every subscribed mailing list 
is known. To mark a mailing list as known, use the list command. To mark it as 
subscribed, use subscribe. (section 3.14)

Personally, I just do what you mentioned and haven't had any ill effects.

Sincerely,
