Is it okay to dust your fruit flies in spirulina?

Spirulina is a great supplement to use for gutloading and ensuring your feeders are nutritious, but I wouldn't put it directly on feeders, because then the chameleon is eating the spirulina directly. I'd stick to dusting with calcium.
A few folks here will supplement with bee pollen occasionally. Because that is more natural for chameleons to directly ingest in the wild, since they eat bees. But some have also experienced edema and other issues with their chams with doing bee pollen as a direct supplement. So that's a proceed at your own risk type of supplement. Some old threads in the archives if you want to read more about it.

I agree, only dust with plain calcium, no D3.
