erm, it might be worth a try - but I think it would be the same, the additional depth of freehub body with the spacer would sit under the seat-stay that is the issue... both are still 130mm, I think the issue you are having is because the frame is spaced for 126mm - maybe add a 1mm washer to both sides of the axle to pack out the inside of the dropouts and force the frame out a bit more?

sram group on, with beater wheelset (need to source for a set). Seat tube is too skinny for the FD clamp, so might use the excuse to try out 1x finally.
Anyone else here also lives in a tiny flat and struggle with bike maintenance in restricted space?
Frustratingly the chain is rubbing against the seat stay when it's on the smallest cog. Cassette is a 10sp 11-32, and my legs are not strong enough for anything smaller than a 11. I think my 8 sp cassette has a thicker lock ring, but that is a 13-26 so might have to revert to a 2x8 set up...
Really stupid question: would it work if I get an 11sp rear wheel, and put a 10sp cassette in before the spacer?
