I can tell you this, it is very easy to do rear springs on a vanagon.
and adding or taking out a spacer plate would in turn be quite easy.
my guess is, it will take time before you need to ad the spacer ( if
at all )
i would try with out. it's only one bolt to take out if you change
your mind ;)
good luck
