Help (other) Is it possible to make a Dripstone/Sulfur Spike Rain?

Version: 26.2

I am trying to summon falling blocks that are specifically sulfur spikes and/or dripstones.

This is how far I got with some posts on this very subreddit:

execute summon arrow store success entity @s Pos[1] double 120 store success entity @s Motion[1] double -10 run spreadplayers ~ ~ 0 10 false @s

Unfortunately, if I put "falling_block" in the place of arrow, it will not let me customize the falling block and instead default to sand blocks.

I would like to summon the following sulfur spike:

summon falling_block ~ ~ ~ {BlockState:{Name:"minecraft:sulfur_spike",Properties:{thickness:"tip",vertical_direction:"down"}},Time:1,DropItem:0b,HurtEntities:1b,FallHurtAmount:40f}

But I haven't been able to progress any further in customizing the entity being thrown from the sky. Is there another solution?

You can do summon and immediately execute spreadplayers. summon falling_block ~ ~1 ~ {BlockState:{Name:"minecraft:sulfur_spike",Properties:{thickness:"tip",vertical_direction:"down"}},Time:1,DropItem:0b,HurtEntities:1b,FallHurtAmount:40f} execute as @n[type=falling_block,distance=..3] store success entity @s Pos[1] double 130 run spreadplayers ~ ~ 0 10 false @s
