‘cycle-spacing’ behaves like ‘just-one-space’ when invoked once so
binding it to M-SPC should not be (very) destructive to users.

When this change has been propesed back in 2014¹, the main concern
was that back then the function behaved a bit differently from the
old one in certain situations.  This has since been changed by a
[687e0e1: “Make ‘cycle-spacing’ behave more like ‘just-one-space’
if colled once.”] commit.
