... consider spikes to couple not isolate.
My experience, and I emphasise that this is all experimental/experiential and not based in labs or theory, that the negative of having a speaker cabinet influenced by movement directly from sound waves is tiny by comparison with the positive of the loss of vibration transmitted to the floor and this causing some kind of BOOM or even transferring vibration back to the cabinet.
I have found even concrete slabs to be prone to vibration and audibly so.

It's your system, and only your opinion counts.
But to clarify or to reiterate what I said already, a stand that raises the speaker and is itself spiked to the floor would be my preference for most floor standing speakers of modest to medium size. I think the boom to which you refer is due to an interaction between the woofer and the floor that has nothing to do with immobilizing the speaker, or not.
... giving vibration a solid means to move from the speaker to the floor.
However, raising effectively the woofer higher often brings a good result as the sound doesn't either get partly lost in carpet of reflect backup off the floor smearing the music.
