Most of my comments were in reference to spray bottles for puppy biting, in which case it most certainly does disengage the puppy from you. In your case, when it's being used to "correct" a behavior directed elsewhere, it disengages the dog/puppy primarily from whatever it is your spraying them for and, secondarily, from you. Disengagement just the same.
I see ZERO advantages to using a spray bottle. NONE.
