Use CSS Grid to stack items, and visibility: hidden to hide/show spinner. This approach allows the largest item to size the button, and keeps the button text accessible

grid-area: 1/-1; You don't need to name area to use grid-area. I really like your approach.

I love this! I should use grid to overlay elements more often. The only problem with visibility: hidden is that you can't transition between the two states using fade in/out.

you can also add opacity to this to get in/out transitions If you want to do more allow-discrete and content-visibility will do this as well
