> In theory vapor accumulation is only really problematic in the overhead plenum spaces. In actual practice (setting aside acute water ingress) 100% of the time moisture problems start in the crawl space and then spread to the plenum.

Which is a good argument for conditioned crawl spaces.

No argument here. Sealed crawlspaces may be the best thing building science has brought to the industry in the last 30 years.
