I've already considered all the "ors, ifs and buts" Steve, hence my
specific question about using the 12t cog on the other end of the
cassette as a spacer(instead of trying to fill the gap with various
spacers) and placing the 14t in first position. No additional purchases.

Shimano 1st position sprocket Regular sprockets
other than 1st position
First (Top) Position sprockets for Shimano cassettes have a built-in
spacer. The others don't.
A 14-34/36 7 or 8 speed cassette. I know my rings, my riding style,
what kind of gears I ride and want to ride.
Practical or desirable for anyone else is not in question. To tell
someone they "should" like or want something , is like telling someone
who's eating vanilla ice cream and likes it they ought to be eating
chocolate, and then going on and on about all the "reasons" why. The
vanilla and enjoyment of it was never in question, the idea of "should
be eating chocolate" , that's what's questionable !
No, it's more like telling you that it'll work better (i.e., "more
practical") if you eat that ice cream with the spoon that came packaged
in the cup (under the lid) rather than trying to bite it directly.
If you want to use the bottom 8 sprockets of a 9 speed cassette, you
don't need to do anything mechanical to accomplish that: just don't
shift into the smallest sprocket. If you want to prevent yourself from
doing so by accident, I think you can use the high gear adjustment screw
to do that (I'm pretty sure it'll reach that far).
