The main problem with that is finding a ballance. You'll either have too few babys to feed all of your fish or too many and have a problem getting rid of them. It might work as a suppliment for a large collection but would require several pair...each with thier own tank to produce a large enough number reliably.
If you can try to get ahold of a marmor krebs, or Marble Crayfish. You only need one and you will end up with 100's or babies soon enough, i had one and it had babies every 3 weeks or so. They are an a sexual species of cray, the only one i know of.

to few wouldnt really be a problem (I only feed live food maybe 2-3 times a month) to many could end up a problem. Ive seen 4 of my fish eat ghost shrimp (Jardini, Pike, Fire Eel, an TSN/Niger Hybrid) there all pretty big so Im not sure if too many would be an Issue.

If you went to your LFS, brought some feeder crays, then bred those, that would be a cheap investment. Pretty clean and easy too.
Most LFS around here, (if your lucky) just have adult crays an ghost shimp for Inverts.
