Compared to the period from 2015-2018 when it comes to spam, today the situation is much better because spammers have a hard time advancing in the ranks, and sig campaigns are run by people, not bots as was the case in the past. So if it's just a question of spam then I don't see that as a reason for someone not to return to the forum - although I find it strange in itself that the OP would even ask such a question.

To return or not to return, that is the question now, to paraphrase Prince Hamlet
