I've not seen it mentioned, but when making ice-cream most people add salt to the ice so the milk/cream is exposed to the right temps. Wouldn't adding salt to the ice bath make sense for cold crashing too?

Eh, not really. It would allow you to make a colder ice bath but you don't really have a need to since you're not aiming for freezing temps, but just above that.
32F is cold enough. If you get colder than that it is going to start freezing around the edges and it is harder for hops/yeast/proteins to drop out of ice.
