Tracy, the ONLY upside to having Crappie in a trophy LMB pond would be the Crappie spawning before the LMB, and hammering the LMB fry so you don't need to remove as many by angling. Far too many downsides for that one upside, imo. Crappie will take out the forage before the forage fish grow large enough to feed the bigger bass. Adding Crappie would most likely REDUCE LMB growth potential.
LMB don't grow on FHM after reaching 6-8". FHM are for young LMB only. Your TFS and BG are the real forage producers, and Tilapia are a huge forage maker
