Is this Crown Rot?

Nice happy spike! It's too early for a keiki if it does make one. They usually appear once the blooms fall off at the nodes that are below the blooms (like in pics 2, 7 and 8).
But a plant with crown rot is more likely to put out basal keikis since it can't grow anymore without a crown. So you mainly want to keep an eye out for growth at the base of the plant/ between the lower leaves. Might need a few months of waiting.

I just had a thought of cutting the spikes to encourage vegetative growth. Its probably too early for this, but I just want to get some expert opinions first.

I wouldn't cut the spikes yet. I'd wait and see what happens with them. The plant usually knows itself if it can manage with the spikes and lets them dry naturally. And there is a possibility that you might get a keiki from the existing spikes. But I wouldn't call myself an expert so you can wait ans see what others suggest.

Will, maybe one thing that you could do is cut off just the flowering bit so you are left with two spikes and maybe that will get the plant to start pushing something out from the nodes faster. Just an idea..

I got one about 6 months ago with a spot exactly like that. I treated with peroxide and left it alone. It has a hole in the leaf now but the rest of the leaf is fine and the spike had blooms for months. I would just treat the spot and leave it alone. You might get lucky. Oh and mine is making a new leaf now.
