I thought exactly the same thing, and it turned out that I was wrong.

I'm doing virtual full backups to LTO-6 tape, which is not quite
identical to copy jobs, but really very close. (Virtual full backups
have to touch more source backups than copy jobs.)

And I still spool the virtual full backups before writing to tape which
allows me to get 160 MB/s to our LTO-6 tape drive.  When I did virtual
full backups directly to tape I only got between 80 MB/s and 100 MB/s.
And over the 200 virtual full jobs that I run each week they are from
wall clock perspective faster by spooling to disk and then writing to tape.

I strongly suggest that you turn both Spool Attributes and Spool Data on.
