Using 2019 base model 15" MacBook Pro, will updating software to Catalina from Mojave slow it down?

The short answer is no. Be aware though that even if you have upgraded to iOS 13/ iPadOS 13 or even Apple TV or Watch OS 6 it is not a necessity to upgrade to Catalina just yet.
I used to wait until the next macOS upgrade was available before upgrading to the previous one. Not a bad way of ensuring all the bugs were ironed out.
Still so long as you are aware of the 62bit app limitation and that there will still be a few bugs to be resolved by all means go for it.

Do you realistically expect the first software update, released 6 months after your $2400 purchase, is going to slow it down?

Of course not.

Of course not.

But this would have been such a great opportunity to ditch it and get the 16” because he needs the latest of anything to validate his life.
How dare you insert logic to this conversation?!?
