Are there any surfaces I should spot-test first?

The formula sits at pH 8.5, which is mildly alkaline, so a few materials are worth a hidden-area spot test before first use. Wood and bamboo chopping boards, because an alkaline formula can dry out untreated or oiled wood with repeated use, so wipe and re-oil as needed. Natural stone such as marble, limestone or unsealed travertine, because porous stone can react to alkaline cleaners. Coated or treated stone with sealants such as Enduroshield. Non-stick cookware coatings. Everyday surfaces do not need a spot test: laminate benchtops, plastic chopping boards, glass splashbacks, ceramic, sealed stone, stainless steel and painted walls.

✓ No spot test needed

Laminate benchtops. Plastic chopping boards. Glass splashbacks. Ceramic tiles. Sealed stone. Stainless steel. Painted walls.

⚠ Spot-test a hidden area first

Wood and bamboo chopping boards, and wipe and re-oil them as needed. Natural stone such as marble, limestone or unsealed travertine. Stone with sealants such as Enduroshield. Non-stick cookware coatings.

The reason is the pH. At 8.5 the formula is mildly alkaline, which is what lifts cooked-on grease and also what porous and coated materials can react to.
