RCV still has spoilers, it’s just they happen differently. Mostly commonly in three-way competitive races, but they can technically happen under any number of candidates greater than two with any level of support.
Cardinal methods don’t have mathematical spoilers, though a new candidate can change voter behavior. But, that’s possible under any system.
