Spacers are 100% safe to use as long as you install them properly....and all that's required to do that is make sure the wheel hub face and extension are free from corrosion and scale...that's all...
You may think the hub extension that holds your wheels concentric to the hub is transmitting the loads from the wheel to the hub, but that is only meant to locate the wheel onto the hub. The bolts/studs provide the clamping force that takes the load...
Spacers have been around for a very long time...for the very same reason they are today...they work and they get the job done...:smile:
