If you completely seal and encapsulate the crawl it becomes part of the conditioned space. In that case you don’t really need to separate it from the living area.
If I had 80+ yo oak floors, I’d make alot of effort to saving and using them as finish floor…

Colin,
Just as on new houses with conventi0onal subfloors, there is some finished flooring (like ceramic tile, some vinyl) that need sheet underlays, but except from that the oak should be fine as the subfloor directly under whatever you use as flooring.
