"From everything I've read or heard, spacers are to be avoided for reasons of load, parts wear, tracking, safety."

I'm going to respectfully disagree. Properly done spacers (not, for instance, washers stacked on the studs!), particularly in the relatively thin form that you require, should not be a problem. As for the load/parts wear aspect, I've run 1" - yes, that's one inch - spacers on the front of my race car for years with no wheel bearing issues whatsoever.
