I'm not saying spam score and DA is what we should care about in case of Google rank. BUT the fact that it appears as spammy in metrics is a thing we should take into consideration that something isn't right.
Theoretically, yes. However, if you're not building spammy links, you should stay the course you're on.
You should always be aware of your backlink profile even if you're entirely white hat & allowing them to be built naturally.
At this current point in time, I feel it's a useless metric.
Does the spam score affect your ranking? If so, disavow the shitty backlinks & focus on quality links.
No, Google even said they don't consider spam score a ranking factor. See here: https://www.seroundtable.com/moz-spam-score-google-rankings-29938.html
