I like this idea a lot too, but I have wondered about spoilers. Wouldn’t some players consider it a spoiler to see upcoming forums they haven’t reached yet in public profiles?

They might, but then again, they could just opt not to receive updates on their friends. You could have a checkbox in your friends list that says “Send me updates on $name?” which, the first time you click it, spawns an infobox that mentions that said updates may be spoilery.
