What do I do with the baby? If I just let it go, will it get too crowded?

No. That pot is huge for that plant it will just start filing out the pot

Let it go until there’s a bunch in there 🤗

You only need to remove it if you want to start another plant.

Snake plants love to be root bound and actually just naturally crowd each other in the wild. You could leave it and let it fill out the pot. You should be concerned (repotting) once the plants in the pot stop growing. I would leave them be.
