Lucky escape! They do crash well (to coin a well used phrase round these parts).

Handguards - definitely. You'll get your money back in saved levers, plus they keep your hands warmer and drier.
Bash plate/sump guard - maybe. Depends on what you do, but the OE plastic one does its job to a reasonable degree... and you've got one anyway.
Crash bars - possibly not. As you've found, very little of the actual bike touches the ground when you lay it down, and when it does its only the sacrificial grey/black plastic bits. Save the extra weight.
