If you keep the spotcolour all the way it isn't a problem. But need to know more about your work flow to be specific. We do it all the time๏ฟฝand it's not so difficult once you understand why and how! The spot colour and transparency works with masks and overprints. If it views correctly in the PDF (look at the chanels carefully using separations preview and turn on one colour at a time), then it can print correctly. The RIP or work flow should NOT force white to overprint. The RIP may not remap colours untill after they are ripped (if this is a frequent problem you should look for a versioning or doubble burn function in your output workflow). If you must remapp colours you may only do so in InDesign in the inkmanager.
