The only time a haki user attacked a logia without haki (Zoro vs Monet) it was extremely deliberate and done to demonstrate an even more overwhelming method of defeating your opponent.

Given what I otherwise know of One Piece, Doffy not using haki seems unlikely. It would be pretty pointless. Croc and Doffy clashed and then attacked each other.

Croc's Sables did no damage to Doffy, Doffy's string twitch did no damage to Croc.

In story, I don't think Doffy making a completely pointless attack fits. I think Croc using his DF mastery to shapeshift and avoid the attack is a plausible explanation. I also think it makes more narrative sense/fits more with what Oda was depicting the scene as.

I guess I could reread the chapter as I'm going off memory here, but yeah, that's my take on the scene.

This middle panel pairs Croc with Jinbe and Iva. Yes they were the three most prominent prisoners, but I think that portrayal says something about his combat ability.
