Well this is a 3 year old post but still. He is almost 100% certainly a spear-bearer, and indeed at one point uses his umbrealla as a physical spear. It's easy to forget (since SIU muddled it a bit in early chapters), that a Shinsu user is not inherently a  Wavecontroller. Everyone uses shinsoo, wavecontrollers rather are the ones who have exceptional talent, most espeically in regards to the number of Bang they can weild. While Ark uses shinsoo beams he uses a tool to assist firing, he only ever fires single sraight shots, and he mostly acts as ranged support in combat which is the specific role of a spearbearer.

The best exampls are Quaetro Blitz and Yeon. Yeon is not a wavecontroller but still wields shinsoo has her main weapon. Notice how she only ever fires of individual attacks, in contrast to the several bang cleverly used by Queatro. She also took till the 30th floor to even be able to actually aim her attacks.Yeon really emphisises why a shinsoo user is not the same as a wavecontroller: She has great power but poor control and flexibility. The only thing she can really do is make strong fire.
