For those of you interested in reaching the Crab Nebula and Pulsar, I can now safely confirm that the minimum jump range needed to do so without using boosts (AKA "jumponium") is 23.88LY.
Here is a screenshot I took of the longest jump needed (heading back out) showing the relevant stellar systems...
The next longest jump needed, as I recall, was 22.2LY.
I will be logging my route on the way back out and posting it here for others to use if they want. It was impractical for me to do so while finding a way in since I tried so many dead end paths.
Cheers.

Here is the simplified economic plotted requisite route I took out of the Crab Nebula region. As tested, you should be able to reverse this course fairly easily and be able to plot to the Crab Sector DB-W B2-0 stellar system coming from up toward the galactic plane and core when heading to the Crab Nebula and Pulsar.
Crab Pulsar → Crab Sector FW-W C1-1
Crab Sector FW-W C1-1 → Crab Sector DB-X C1-1
Crab Sector DB-X C1-1 → Crab Sector DB-W B2-0

Crab Pulsar → Crab Sector FW-W C1-1
Crab Pulsar → DL-Y D10 (9.14LY), DL-Y D10 → EG-Y E1 (7.14LY), EG-Y E1 → FW-W C1-1 (19.10LY)
Crab Sector FW-W C1-1 → Crab Sector DB-X C1-1
FW-W C1-1 → DB-X C1-1 (23.88LY, longest jump needed)
Crab Sector DB-X C1-1 → Crab Sector DB-W B2-0
DB-X C1-1 → GH-U B3-0 (14.90LY), GH-U B3-0 → HH-U B3-0 (19.32LY), HH-U B3-0 → DB-W B2-0 (22.16LY, second longest jump needed)
