I think the stamping has a chamfer on it for clicking in, so laser (or water jet) cutting would either need grinding as a second operation or a 5-axis cut out.
Given the long history of Speedplay refusing to offer the easily broken but cheap part as a spare, I'd have switched to a different pedal manufacturer by now as a matter of principle. The wire spring would be a perfectly profitable line at $5 a pair, the stamping maybe $10 as the production generates an order of magnitude more scrap.
