I can't say for sure what maximum depth would be, but I have seen both spawning in 12" of water....

Crappie spawn deep . IIRC more than 3 feet. I will check.
RES shallow 0-3 feet.

If crappie spawn deeper than RES and BG, they should be less affected by pond level fluctuations and FA.

Just checked crappie spawn in brush , roots or plants in depths of 20 cm to 6 meters.
Crappie have a history of spawning in waters with large depth fluctuations . Unless water depth is changing rapidly then fluctuation should not matter.

I wonder if spawning depth is also impacted by pond visibility i.e., the clearer the pond, the deeper light penetrates, the deeper the spawning bed?

Photoperiod , water temp and fish condition are the controlling factors. Light penetration also has a bearing as it effects both photoperiod and temp. But most pond fish can spawn in and tolerate modestly muddy water.
