By the time you are able to acquire spikes, you'll need to be outfitted with gear good enough to defeat Skeletron and to survive through the dungeon in which they can only be found in. By the time you have gear good enough to do that, you would be able to nearly 1-hit any lower level mob. I don't see why it would be a problem to make it so spikes do damage to npc's. They could at least give immunity to dungeon creatures, or AT LEAST make only slimes (Red and below) and zombies take damage.
