If I want all bots to not crawl /specific-directory, but I want them to operate "as usual" (thus: crawl) all other directories of my site, is this robots.txt entry adequate?

# All Bots
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

# SemRush
User-agent: SemrushBot
Disallow: /

Or, do I need to specifically allow /allowed-directories since I deny access to some directories?

Disallowing specific directory is enough. There is no need to explicitly allow a directory unless it is a subdirectory of the disallowed one.

Your robots.txt looks fine.
