For the most part, I can come up with crossover elements to incorporate or at least reference in shout-outs by myself, though I’m open to suggestions. What I really need some help on is figuring out where I am going with all this.
First a confession: In my mind this was originally a lemon fic. Porn with plot and lots of humor. Something about Earth was affecting Yosho’s tree and in turn it had an effect on him and a number of his descendants. Or maybe the extreme eccentricity (you can’t call them crazy, they’re royalty) displayed by other members of his family finally caught up with him. Yosho in this AU always had a lady friend or three around the shrine when he wasn’t off saving the world, and generally came back with one or two new ones. Tenchi’s Father went from slightly Hentai to full-on swinger. Tenchi isn’t embarrassed by sex. Ryoko’s cave was remodeled into a sex dungeon a while back with Ryoko as the gimp. Etc. The story was going to be a retelling of the OAV with all this in play, largely from the point of view of the prim and proper princess Ayeka after being dropped into this insanity.
Then as I played around with world building and characters, the potential for plot and humor became more interesting to me than the porn. So I’ve gotten attached to the now-modified concept as described in my opening post but I’m trying to figure out my approach here. The leading contenders at the moment:
1) Go Over the Top: See Beautiful Destroyer Sailor Moon and The Key to a Successful Interview by The Sage of Toads for the general idea. The Earth branch of the Masaki-Jurai clan is still crazy, just not all that Hentai.
2) Subtlety: Yosho has managed to keep his activities and the nature of some of his acquaintances hidden from Tenchi along with everything else. During or after the Kagato incident, after Katsuhito reveals his identity as Yosho, parts of his past and activities on Earth are slowly revealed and Butterfly-Effects grow from there.
3) Staying in the Background: Told from Yosho’s POV, Tenchi and harem have their own adventures as canon while most of them never get a clue about what Yosho is doing.

No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.
