Yes, These pins are very close to the radio, so toggling the pins could affect radio modulation. You can use radio notifications to avoid toggling it during radio activity, but if you have a lot of SPI communication it would be better to use another pin for that.

Thanks. For sure in my future designs I will avoid using them, but in the meanwhile, how would you suggest using the radio notifications? by making sure not to toggle these IO's during radio?

I think it's best to avoid using those pins on the WLCSP while the radio is active. Consider using radio notifications to avoid that.
