The way I'm reading the manual here is that they want you to lob off any stem length up top first and run with no spacers on top.
You are correct on all accounts. Spacers on top for a few months won't be a problem. They want you to cut stem eventually but here is no going back so make sure you are sure about your fit. If you are going to cut it yourself make sure to research proper way to do it or pay LBS $20 to do it
