I was wondering how to sleep comfortably in my LC200 without removing 3rd row seats/adding drawers. Could you please share your camping setup and gears? TIA.

Didn't you forget about the oversized tires with spacers, Diff drop and special oil?
I just made this platform. Haven’t tried it out yet but I’m excited to!

2nd and 3rd row flat as pictured above and a piece of plywood that spans the gap between 2nd and 3rd row then mattress on top of that

It's a 24x48 so easy to store in different locations depending on how I pack. I usually try to be lazy about it and stand it in the footwell of 2nd row. Or I'll fold the 2nd row flat and put it on top of that than pack other things on top of the plywood.
But if I'm using the 2nd row then I store it in the back cargo area.
The above is on trips, otherwise it's in the garage standing up between a wall and shelf
Mine will go on the roof rack with my other camping gear on top.
I wanted to use a board like that to cover all of the gaps in the seats when folded down. I do have drawers, but there is a fairly large gap between the front and second row seats. Without it an air mattress would conform to the irregular surface and be uncomfortable to sleep on I would imagine.
I would want the board to extend from the tailgate to the back of the front seats when moved all the way forward. I'm 6'4" so need all the space I can get. That would require a 4' x 6' or two 2' x 6' boards. Just not sure where I would store those while in transit. Seems if they were on the roof they would create a lot of drag and wind noise.

Can you even fit in the back without laying diagonally? I'm 5'10" and I touch the tailgate laying straight. After sliding the 2nd row forward as much as it'll go I also pull the headrest out a bit to fill as much of the gap to the back of the front row. Your idea of that huge board would definitely make it more comfortable. But I try to stuff the duffle bags and what not in the gap ahead of 2nd row to keep it somewhat level.
I have in the 100 but haven't tried it the 200 yet. I did measure and I think with the front seat moved and tilted all the way forward I could barely fit.
I'm not excited TBH about carrying around a huge piece of plywood. I think the easiest solution is to slide the 2nd row seat all the way back, then use soft stuff to fill the gap between the first and second rows.

So I've been bootstrapping a shelf like the Koan shelf the last couple months. Latest iteration is this 2 ft x 4 ft grid. To make it fit with the headliner I had to trim a couple of the corners, but I think it would still be ok to support a sleeping mat.
Then the 'shelf' becomes the 'sleeping platform'. And you'd have to do that anyway, as it would cramp head space otherwise.
My next bracket iteration has the shelf sliding into c channel aluminum (from the front of car to back). It was for ease of removal, but it would fit this use case too.
