A significant amount of industrial electronics is potted. No problems.
You should be concerned with internal heat build-up. How hot do the
inductors get?
I've used several gallons of potting compound over the years and
don't recall any problems developing because of it. Don't recall if
anything had crystals in it, though.
Your best bet is to obtain some of the potting compound that you plan
to use and see what happens to your product.

>(only the top is being potted). So I'm not too worried about this.
