I'm always inclined to use spicy for *testing*, adding new UI
there to tweak things that is not expected to a normal spice
client to have.

I'm completely in favor in working on something like that but I
would rather do it with gnome-boxes instead as I can add
(nightly) qemu, spice-protocol, spice, spice-gtk to a single
flatpak.

Having a virt-viewer flatpak does not mean _not_ having a
spicy.flatkpak (to me); one is full featured spice client while
the other a testing tool...
