The factory wheel or a 0 offset wheel deliver the forces in the same location. The spacers deliver it 34 mm further away.
Question, are the factory hub’s perfectly flat? What is the tolerance? Is the spacer perfectly flat? What are their tolerance? So let’s say tolerance is .001 on both and you bolt the two high spots together, sure the bolts will close the now .002 gap, but is it a sound mechanical joint?
To many places for a slight error to have bad outcomes.
You can make the same argument for the back face of the wheel, can’t you?

Absolutely, but we have no choice there. I am sure they work fine in many use cases.
Then you aren’t creating an issue, as the issue already was present….

In my case however the truck has less than 100 miles on it, so there won’t be any corrosion of any kind.

This is a complete non issue. I raced the ARA circuit as a novice for years, and helped out on pro teams for equally as long. Spacers are common, we use them all the time in race conditions that far exceed forces a raptor will ever see. Rally is far harder on wheels and hubs than a guided tour of baja ever would. The key is using quality products, proper installation, and routine maintenance. Just like every other system on your vehicle.
