I'm pretty sure that, by the time they were adults at least, they did respect Maurice enough to not mock him. And the reason for that was simple. If the triplets still viewed Maurice was crazy as a loon when they were adults, they would have been heard laughing when LeFou yells "That crazy old loon? He needs all the help he could get!" alongside Gaston, yet they weren't heard laughing at all, nor do they make ANY noise at all (and believe me, it would be obvious if they agreed with LeFou and Gaston, since we would have heard distinctly female laughter in the background). And we can't say that the triplets simply left, because the last we saw of them, they were still admiring Gaston, and very little time had passed for them to even plausibly have left offscreen since it immediately cut back to Gaston and LeFou shortly thereafter, meaning most likely they were still in earshot of him.

Besides, considering the fact that the triplets were completely absent from the whole mob business late in the film (not to mention their only appearing during the last few lyrics of the Gaston Reprise and the end of the Gaston song explicitly proved they had left the room due to Claudette and Laurette being absent and Paulette holding a silver platter and clearly heading to the backroom), it's unlikely they viewed Maurice as crazy even ignoring that.
