Possible, but in my opinion "spaces don't matter" and "they are only there to mislead" are still two different things. The second indicates an intention of which we cannot be sure it was there.

Spaces are largely consistent, but I agree that the scribes have been very inaccurate / sloppy with them.
The best we can hope is that they do not play a big role in finding the solution.
(They would play a major role for people placing a lot of trust in them, as this would then reduce their chances of success).

It has been observed that the spaces in the text are consistent with the label words, but this is not exactly proof that the spaces are meaningful. The label words could (as one hypothesis) simply be words picked from the text. But there are too many different options at all levels to pick one favourite method how all this could work. At least for me.

When looking for repeated strings of text (another anomaly in the Voynich MS) one will find cases of such strings with the spaces in different places. That is a thing that happens *much* less in known meaningful texts, so here is again an indicator that spaces are meaningless, or at least, mostly inaccurate.
