From a security perspective you do not want any software to process unchecked data received from the internet as root.

Rspamd and SpamAssassin (spamd) are separate programs and are not related.
You might want to check SpamAssassin docs/mailinglists at https://spamassassin.apache.org/.
For running SpamAssassin it might also be a better option to go with amavisd-new: https://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/

For migrating to rspamd it is possible to integrate SpamAssassin rules:
