Hard to say. A professional would just say “running wheel spacers at all is unsafe”. But as a car guy, I’ve dealt with seized on spacers and it is a CUNT. So yeah using anti seize is not the end of the world, as long as you’re a responsible car owner and check the lug but torque every once and a while just like air pressure... which no one does.
Alternatively, you can drill a hole in the space and tap it for an m10 bolt or similar. If you need to remove the spacer just insert and screw in a bolt. It will go through the spacer, push against the rotor and pop off
