I know people who have gotten spiritual benefit from it. What you’re saying is like saying, “Printing Bibles. Man made tradition. No spiritual benefit there.”
It’s not the brightest thing to say. Spiritual benefits can come to people through prayerful use of sacramentals in their lives. It helps draw people closer to God.
I think we need to ask from where does that spiritual "benefit "come..
Remember the "angel of light" loves confusion
Mark 13: . 21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
All "miracles" are not from God

If the spiritual benefit is relying on an object or thing instead of Christ, it has no spiritual benefit only peril .
NO where do the apostles or Christ tell us to rely on "holy exorcized " water or salt for any benefit..no where do they tell us that demons can even inhabit them . If it was intended for the spiritual benefit of men, they would have revealed it to us
