Default TR7IX with washer ok to use??

I have read of guys using the tr7ix on boosted ls motors. I thought it was a big no no for plugs with washers? I got some and they sure do have the washer on them and not tapered seat... ok to use them?

I’ve always used tr7ix plugs. I’m making 830/869 right now on a 5.3, my tuner loves them. I’m always spraying M1
