Have watched TOS - Enterprise. Will watching Discovery-SNW increase my enjoyment of Lower Decks? (startrek.website)

My partner and I have just binged TOS-Enterprise last year and we are starting Discovery today. I was just wondering if we can also start LD or will there still be jokes from Discovery (and the later shows) that we might miss out on? I have really bad FOMO anxiety and am worried there will be references in LD that we will miss because we havent watched any of the new shows yet.

Umm, it could be mentioned, could it not?

From their point of view, deleted because I fail at spoiler tags

That's what I intended to get at. They could mention it, but wouldn't know any special reason they should. And since Boims loves talking about the special ones, but wouldn't know anything about Discovery. The way the other comment was worded I thought they were just secret in general, which I definitely don't remember anything like that. I just got confused. I should watch them all close together at some point. Watching in real time week to week with other stuff going on (around season 4 time ahem) make me forget details.

I don't remember anything about the propulsion being classified. It didn't come with that, did it? I thought they got that one thing later, after the show was in progress. Was there something special about it when it was built?
