every blank needs to be spine in order to determine where to put the guides, be it casting, spinning, or conv spiralled. if sage does not spine their rods, then they are asking for additional problems w/ breakage. fly rods are one of the few fishing rods that can be built w/ the spine for fighting or for casting.
if you are worried about thread strength for say offshore rods, build it w/ 2 or 3 overwraps. if what you do works and makes you happy, stick with it. everything said here has been tested and proven by others.
the beauty of being a customer looking for a custom rod is that you have many rod builders to choose from. if you believe in one technique, go to that person. if you like anothers wrapping patterns, go to them.
