Because the crystal heart uses the hope of the Crystal Ponies and is the one thing that could truly stop Sombra, and is a sacred artifact to the Crystal Ponies, it would no doubt be the greatest symbol of morale. Luna's presence would indeed inspire hope in the citizens, but meerly because two princesses combating Sombra is seems more assuring than one. But that is nothing compared to the hope inspired by the crystal heart. Therefore, Luna's presence would not have improved the Crystal Empire.

Celestia was wise to not send Luna. While she would've made achieving the mission easier, it was still successfully carried out without her, making Celestia's choice one of efficiency.
