@92.20.46.70 Exactly. Not only that, but Spike has pretty much saved his friends in different occasions. He indirectly had an impact on defeating Discord in "The Return of Harmony, Pt. 2", due to all those past friendship reports that came out of Spike's mouth. If it wasn't for that, Discord would still be free. Also, Spike's generous act in "Secret of My Excess" made the difference between him still having his friends and sparing Ponyville vs. remaining a beast and losing everything. So, yeah, he's done more than just writing friendship reports, dig gems, etc. Him being a dragon or not him being an Element of Harmony does not make him any more or less important than the main pony characters. He has a lot of room for development, and "Dragon Quest" certainly could open up more possibilities and development for Spike.
