In the areas where wolves have been eradicated; coyotes have been getting marginally larger to help fill the niche that has opened up. Especially in areas where people have stopped hunting.
They are still not something to consider unless you have a child or are the size of a child.
While I find bearspray laughable for grizzly defense. It will work fine on any canine. Including aggressive feral dogs which are a far more credible threat.
