Assuming you are going to stay airborne for a while, opening the crossfeed would lead to imbalance, because you would be feeding both engines from the right side tank only.
The reason for selecting cross feed on is to provide positive pressure on the failed side until you get to your adjusted ceiling. Once there you gravity feed with the xfeed closed.
