To play devil's advocate, the episode ended with Spike saying he'd always want his Rarity time. That said, to me spabby just feels so much healthier to me since it's a relationship between two individuals of roughly the same age who bonded over mutual interests. And unlike Rarity, Gabby never really got upset that Spike might be busy and even encouraged him to go do things, where Rarity just kinda breaks down. I'm not sure what the written intent was, but Spike and Rarity's relationship in this episode sure was a red flag to me regardless of the platonic vs romantic angle.
