Just talking from personal experience. My spikes clog up just as much when it's extremely muddy and I've never ran a fell race where it's all on peat.
I find my fell racing shoes probably provide better traction going up or down extremely muddy hills than 12mm spikes do. Maybe I need to use 15's?
Do elites wear trail running shoes for xc?
Spikes don't clog up as much as the spike has less to stick too.

Elites wear track spikes, my dood
Looking at the world champs and Edinburgh, there are definitely quite a few pros who use actual XC spikes.
Best solution is to carry multiple pairs with you and change shoes as the conditions dictate.
