Alignment with ductile-iron rockers?

Most higher HP builds use the spacers, as they are solid and don't allow any side to side motion at all. With big lift camshafts, all kinda harmonics can set up and sometimes you can get some side to side motion. The spacers eliminate that completely.
Seems to me any time the rocker is under pressure it is being forced straight in line "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line"

I have no issue with spacers but springs have been trouble free in a lot of applications for a very long time...
