As for the the other stuff, no clue.
I know on Subarus, spacers caused premature bearing failure often. However, the hubs and bearings on them were weak and undersized to begin with and often failed completely stock. So spacers do cause accelerated wear, but on a bearing that's not a problem the question becomes "how much accelerated wear?" If it would have gone 250k without issue and now will only go 200k, that's probably ok. We just don't know. There haven't been a lot of reported failures. I won't run them but plenty of people seem to have no issues.
