I don't know exactly what "crashed" means, but since tempdb is used for
both for temp tables and for worktables, I would expect an SQL Server
with a crashed tempdb, to be in bad shape, why a restart is about the
only way out.

Or does SQL Server appear to behave normally, save the crashed tempdb?

Note that you don't have to reboot the machine, just stop and start
SQL Server.
