20/40 MHz Coexistence is about interference. If you have many 2.4 GHz networks in your surrounding (which is usually the case) then it's recommended to allow 20/40 coexistence.
You need to disable 20/40 coexistence only if you have devices operating on 2.4 GHz band and only work with 40 MHz channel bandwidth, which is very unusual, I think!
