Spinning can give confidence in handling and is essential if a pilot is to operate in a regieme where it is more likely, such as military flying or aerobatics. But in a PPL environment in spin resistant aircraft, it's not essential.
I've yet to find any evidence that spin recovery training as part of the PPL course has caused more accidents.
It will never be re-introduced into the syllabus, so I recommend spin recovery training post PPL.
I take your point about the difference in recovery from different types, but that can be covered in type conversion.
